That is even more weird why would anyone put it up there.

What? There's plenty of reasons. Certain services require ID verification and, while it's unsafe, some people prefer just to have them hosted in the cloud so they have access to their ID wherever they are.

Because they needed to provide a picture of their license to someone? It's really not that weird.

A lot of people put commonly requested security docs on a secure drive somewhere.

Is it good practice? Probably not. Is it convenient? Most definitely.

In addition to what other people said some regions, particularly within Asia, the ID is used for absolutely everything, government, health care, telco, employment, etc. Not only is losing your physical id particularly troublesome in these situations, most entities accept a digital copy as proof.
