If you can use a basic hosting with backup features, you can simply use a $5 droplet to sync almost everything possibly you can think of. Or OneDrive / Google Drive if you are using Windows based applications with databases. It is really not that difficult to keep data safe and backed up.

I mean, yeah, if for some reason you think Google Drive is safer than Google’s purpose-built notes application, that is an option.

As a backup option. Not their entire service. I tend to think heavily encrypted files could be safe there.
