Google Drive users stung by macOS '.DS_Store' copyright infringement issue
Google doesn't care for it's users and Drive is an horrible product. Don't use it. There are better alternatives for backup both on software and host.

Lost 700 gb worth of projects, codes, data sets, tutorials, reading materials as my external hdd got damaged. It was 4 years worth of work and personal projects.😫 Whats your data loss story?
If you are worried about data privacy you can encrypt it before syncing to cloud using gocryptfs. borg is great for achiving and deduplication. Rclone can be used to sync between more than a hundred providers, including the most free ones, GCP, AWS, etc. I wrote a script to glue them together. Using it for more than a year without problems. https://github.com/lbcnz/arb

[HELP] Update over OTA
I'm assuming you're already rooted based on your question? That should make things easier. I personally use a root backup app like Neo Backup to backup apps and app data and store it on a hard drive along with other important files. Also, if you're willing and the option's available, I would make a TWRP backup just in case. Then you can clean install and restore your apps and files separately. Encryption shouldn't be an issue if you backup using an app.

"Anytime someone puts a lock on something you own, against your wishes, and doesn't give you the key, they're not doing it for your benefit". However, people seem to like it. The sorry state of Android Backups
NeoBackup should be decent if you're digging for an OSS solution.
