If you are a beginner please stay away from any means of storing your recovery seed in a cloud storage, this doesn't make trust wallet and unusable crypto wallet, if you must you trust wallet make sure you store your recovery seed offline, don't patronize their cloud storage idea, it's totally wrong.
Ideas are evolving as time flies, but when Ledger introduced a cloud based seed recovery service, it felt like a step backward from the core principles of crypto, privacy and self custody.

It's fine to use centralized platforms to some extent, but agreeing to store your seed phrase or passphrase in the cloud defeats the whole purpose. At that point, you're giving up control, which goes against what crypto was meant to solve in the first place.

Their Recover product breaks many principles of a good cryptocurrency storage that requires to have full control, and no other entity knows about your wallet mnemonic seed.

Your warning is very relevant!!
Generally, many people don't know that whoever has access to the seed has full control over the funds.
Newbies don't really understand how important the recovery seed is, they consider the convenience more acceptable than being careful.
This topic needs to be analyzed and posted more easily for beginners!
