No, it's not. Never syncrhonize Server's system folders via Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, or a similar service. They don't provide the necessary file consistency guarantees that only a local file system can provide.

Instead, use regular disk backup utilities - there are plenty of them. It's better to stop the Server when backing up a disk to ensure Server state consistency.
