Not on purpose at least.
In early evolution of Drive when I was using Google for backups with their client, which was called something else that I’ve forgotten, one day when I tried to delete or overwrite something, it corrupted all of the data and it was lost. I was glad I had a different backup, and I’ve been spoiled since then by Drive because it’s not failed in past years.
Keeping another backup offline is critical.

It boggles my mind that people have to even be told this. Keeping your only copies of anything on anyones service is a bad idea.
Convenient - but a HORRIBLE idea. You would think the 90's photo sharing site fiascos would have driven this home but I guess many have short memories?
A surprising number of people who are adults now were still children in the '90s.
