Google has a worse track record of not losing my stuff than I do, but admittedly I don't use too many Google services.

Two examples:

I had a YouTube channel that was created before Google bought YouTube and switched to using/requiring Google Accounts. That channel/account became orphaned and I could no longer gain access to it. I contacted YouTube support and the only remedy they could offer me was to serve a DMCA notice to have the content removed.

I used Google Play and had bought music through the service. When they shut down the service I lost music that I had paid for. Meanwhile I still have a local mp3 library that has some content in it that has persisted on various hard drives since the 90s.
