Ladies and gentlemen, what cloud storage do you recommend for storing clips? After searching, I haven’t seen a post about it since 2018. Google drive seems to be what others are using, and they haven’t had their content pulled. Any input?

First : what do you mean exactly by "storing" ?
A short answer would be : I would use NO cloud service to keep my files safe and definitively use local hard drive/Nat server.
A longer answer ^^ :
maybe check if your password is not already leaked (Anyway change passwds every 3 months 
)
ie this post links to a 3GB file of cracked passwords, fresh from last september ^^ :https://cracked.to/Thread-MEGA-Entire-DROPBOX-LEAK-4GBs?page=1
I would never use dropbox, googledrive, onedrive or any of these well known Grand Public service for anything more risky than holiday pics shared with my familly, using a private mail.
OR delete your files as soon as your customer got them (even if you think gaining time to upload...).
OR consider a real professional (paying) service.
Else, you can check to temporary share big files or folder and keep them relatively safe by using "lightly less well known" ones:
pcloud: 'best cloud of 2020'... I didn't really checked yet. Seems nicely secured but start plan begins at 10GB only (a new 'box.com' ?)
megasync: many models use it it seems to share/send videos, but i don't know it so well.
box.com: (I use to share big projects with customers on this one). Start plan, is 10GB only, paying for larger space.
1fichier.com (aff link in my signature ^^): a nice system of "credits" can be used to extend your storage space. Start plan of 1TB for free (hugely used to share movies....)

If for distribution AWS + CloudFront
For personal storage, hard drive or even external drive but not online.

First off, storing risque stuff on Google Drive is perfectly fine. Google isn't looking at your content to check for wardrobe malfunctions. They officially don't care.
Other than that, see above. A long term archive of your clips is better off on a local hard drive, be it the one in your computer or on a removable USB one.
If you need a cloud backup of your stuff, consider something that let you store things forever. Personally I use the somewhat obscure service Jottacloud because of the privacy laws governing their service. I have no affiliation with them. You can also share files from their cloud backup, but it's strictly speaking a secondary function of it.

That's interesting, because a couple years ago, they made a big to-do about banning porn.
I do use google drive for cloud storage just for convenience but there is no way I'd trust them to be my only backup.
I have all my clips stored on two hard drives with duplicate content. I worked too hard on them to risk losing my videos. You can get a couple of hard drives for storage pretty cheap.

Well, maybe it's not so clear cut as I think. The Program Policies distinguishes between storing and publishing, but they also state in their Google Drive Terms of Service that they may review the contents. Or to quote:
"We may review content to determine whether it is illegal or violates our Program Policies, and we may remove or refuse to display content that we reasonably believe violates our policies or the law. But that does not necessarily mean that we review content, so please don’t assume that we do."
So ... It's anyone's guess. Sorry for the confusion!
