Just move everything to your own storage instead of Google Drive. And maybe have your desktop or web app interface with Google drive.
I thought Google Drive did as well, is that not the case?
How does Google Drive handle this?
Still possible to access your docs via Google drive.
Google does that with Drive already.
There is a service called Google Takeout which lets you do a full data dump of Drive and any other google product.
Lots of software has export to and import from gdrive features.
Or just use google takeout to grab regular dumps of your files
Google Drive isn't a backup system.
