Ditching OneDrive suggestions for online photo storage (not Google)

Grumpysally

I need recommendations please for online photo storage.

I currently automatically back up my photos to both Google and OneDrive and to a seperate hard drive.

A bit of overkill based on paranoia of losing important photos and frankly laziness. 

Whilst One Drive is handy for accessing  things across devices I'm sure I could manage with Google, I would like to have a second back up for my photos.

Thanks

If you have Amazon prime, you could use Amazon photos, or you can get 1TB of storage for £80 per year.

Just be minded Amazon only accept .JPG format (possible .PNG), they won't accept RAW or Photoshop files as photos.

Has that changed recently? Not that I would recommend Amazon photos but you certainly could store RAW files when I tried it.

A few months at least from when I last tried

They take a lot more than JPEG:

I prefer Proton Drive, free for 5GB, details:

They are fully encrypted and only you have access.

Get hard copies of your important photos. Having them in the cloud is very risky and local backups can corrupt.

Thanks, I'm doing that.
