I’m realizing maybe I should just use Amazon or iCloud AND Google Photos for backing up my images. My whole life is in Google Photos. I could lose it from something stupid and never even have a person to contact about that.

At least do a google takeout backup. I believe there are ways to import that into software like immich (a self hosted alternative)

Set up a NAS and use a self-hosted equivalent like Immich. Then you aren't dependent on anyone.

Immich. https://immich.app/

They have their issues, but they are actively working on it.

It's good you're realising it now, before you lose the lot as has happened to others.

Shutterfly will upload all your photos and store them for free if you buy a few magnets on sale now and then. Works from iPhone well enough and it's my "third backup."
