So here is the issue, I use Google Drive because I am a writer who does a lot of writing. And I thought the cloud was a reliable way to store my writing, however now Google is looking through it's to train their ai. And I'm worried about that, especially since I have written a lot of questionable content, porn and the like. What if Google Now arbitrarily decides that I'm not using Google Drive properly and bans me from the Google, that's not good. What should I do and what alternatives can I use? Will these Alternatives still be around in like 10 years?

    Not really an expert on this … Since it’s text it’s probably not that “much” data (a few GB not TB?)? Look into 3-2-1 backup rule … E.g: Data on your computer, backed up to external USB also backed up somehwere physically different (friend’s house?) and to “the cloud” ™ . Last two should definitely be encrypted. Problem is I don’t really know any solutions that a very user friendly (only Duplicati, Rclone, restic, Veracrpypt, Nextcloud etc.).
