Writing down a wallet seed phrase is good but, what's the point in doing that if you are unable to import your wallet someday. It would have to go online at some point and by that I mean, importing your wallet using the official wallet, downloaded from the official website.
It's wrong to have your private keys or seed phrase stored online in whatever cloud.
Phishing and hackings comes at various levels, especially those who tend to work or enjoys connecting to a public WiFi. This is am instance where one can have his or her device bugged before you know it and get wiped of all your funds.
You never let a third party and that includes sites that might be rated as trusted, in on your keys or phrase.
