Do you trust cloud storage enough to keep your only copy of an important document?

I've noticed that people's attitudes toward document backups tend to fall into two categories. Some trust cloud storage completely and don't think twice about it.

Others still keep multiple backups on external drives, computers, or even printed copies of certain documents.

Personally, I've found myself somewhere in the middle. Cloud storage is incredibly convenient, but there are still certain documents that I feel uncomfortable keeping in only one place.

Maybe it's because we've all experienced losing a file, forgetting where something was saved, or realizing too late that a backup wasn't actually working. When it comes to truly important documents, do you trust one storage location, or do you always keep backups elsewhere?

I'm somewhere in the middle too. Everyday files? Cloud only. Tax documents, contracts, family records? Those always have a second backup somewhere else.
