I’m suggesting you do both One Drive and Google!

Also, to be clear, I’m saying to install One Drive and Google Photos on your iPhone.

My approach to this is based around having the least amount of things to manage.

In my scenario, I’m looking for the most simple out of the box systems to backing up that don’t require any self hosted solutions or NAS management and so on.

Just throw money at it!

Hence my suggestion to get a Mac, say a Mac Mini, with a decent sized drive and just sync everything to it.

Fully sync so it downloads the lot and need off loads.

The backup the internal drive with Backblaze.

I appreciate this advice isn’t for everyone, and it may not be the best solution.

But it’s a way to a least have some ultimate disaster recovery in place!

It may not be the cheapest, and cheapest doesn’t mean best. It may not be the best by some other measure of features, but it works and requires zero knowledge and additional hardware.

At least with some kind of backup, everything is not lost!

You don’t have to manage it or think about it. The services will sync for years without intervention until you upgrade your devices. For most people, that’s the important factor in having multi backups of their photos and documents!

I think we are saying almost the same thing. I have iCloud storage, pay for one Google storage and have Office365. I use all three.

But, we travel a lot, it’s a hobby of ours. Being able to see on a map where the pictures were taken is important. iCloud Drive and Google Drive preserve all of that information and the accompanying Live Photos, and depth information. One Drive doesn’t.

But I’m okay with a two full Fidelity sources and one low Fidelity backup.
