A little story of how easily it can go wrong.
In order to free up memory on my phone and tablets I have moved my music to Google Drive and use the Google Music Player on my devices.
Lately I have been travelling, using entirely different IPs than I normally do, connecting through WiFi in hotels or hot spots in malls, MickyD or Starbucks. Google finds this fishy and temporarily stopped my account due to "unusual activities". I could get it back with them sending me an SMS code, but not having roaming on (I use pre-paid, so roaming is ridiculously expensive). Hence I wasn't able to access my data until I got back home.
In this case it was just music. I'll survive the lack of songs, but I sure learned that you do not put anything in the Cloud that is important to you. Maybe as an easy method of accessing through different devices, but I will make sure that I have private files and private backups of important data.
