I don't think so, but the default seems to be "$HOME/Google Drive", at least on Windows.

I wonder if a better solution might be for me to include that directory in 'backupskip' rather than trying to mess with 'backupcopy'. I bet I could recover the file using Google Drive itself if ever Vim lost the file somehow while writing and then I don't need to mess with autocmds.

I'm not certain from the help: if I want to include subdirectories in Google Drive, would I need to do this?

set backupskip+=$HOME/Google\ Drive/**/*

Or would just this suffice?

set backupskip+=$HOME/Google\ Drive/*

Probably it still makes sense for 'backupcopy' to be global-local.
