No one will read this, but as a public service I have to say: Storing data you need without backup, or maintaining a channel of communication that you can't replace, with a company you don't pay money on a regular basis, is a recipe for disaster. Tech companies love to be roach motels for your data. They want to lull you into dependence on their platform for mostly innocent reasons. If they have something you need make sure you have your own copy.
