That tends to be my opinion and experience as well :) And that is where Drive is quite nice: its an automatic backup to an off-site backup that requires no user action. Having some form of source control is still needed however, as you don't get all the nice history with Drive, and don't have the atomic updates - typically, every save will be uploaded, even if that change itself will break everything as you haven't made the required changes to other files.
