Specifically, we want to clarify that Google Drive is an unreliable storage location for research products. This is due to issues with version control and ease of loss (e.g., if someone's account becomes inactive and the files will disappear, but the folders remain and there's no indication of when that happened nor clear option for recovery).

I did also add a statement about maintaining specifically in a version controlled repo. OSC technically isn't unless git is initialized, though deleted data can be recovered within a reasonable time.

@egrace479 did you leave the PR in draft status because you were still going to add, change, or review something, or is this by accident, and it is actually ready for review?
