Totally agree. I like to keep my stuff on a server I can control. I was just using gdrive as a option. As for rsnapshot it should work on gdrive, since it's mounted just like a normal drive. The only difference you will see is the speed of transferring files to it. It looks and acts just like a 'usb drive' .

rsnapshot has the advantage of keeping older revisions around of
changed files. Not sure if that is easy to do with google drive (I
haven't looked at it).

I keep my stuff in places I control.
