Simple way to backup alarm events to the Cloud

Hello,
I've configured my ZM in this way:
Camera 1 low res - modect (save only JPEG alarm events)
Camera 1 high res - record (MP4, with linked 'Camera 1 low res' to 'tag' the information in which video file there was an alarm identified by low rest).
(6 cameras in this way)

Is there any way to simply upload backup to some free cloud (Google Drive?) of:
Camera 1 low res - all JPEG's
Camera 1 high res - only events with alarm frames (so 'Alarm frames' >= 1)
I'm thinking about this in case of server stolen.

Perhaps not a direct answer because I copy all events.
I use rsync to copy all events to a remote server. The script syncs today's directory with the off-site directory. The off-site server deletes directories when there is more than I want to keep. Not by age in case there is a problem, I want the last ones to remain.
My script only looks at files, I did not attempt to determine anything about the events.
BTW, my off-site is a Pi Zero with an SSD at a friend's house.

You're right - it's not an direct answer to my question... :) Maybe anyone could help with the issue I described?

And additional question... When I turn on decoding (for live preview) of 2k resolution camera, it consumes 3-4 GB of RAM memory (and almost nothing of CPU usage) - it's normal? I though that decoding would eat my CPU instead of RAM...
