How to backup all your photos and videos to the cloud for free

Users of modern technologies are divided into two groups. In the first of them you will find individuals who regularly back up all their data, in the second group there are people who have never lost any data, so they supposedly do not need to back up. However, users from the second mentioned group will also experience this at least once in their lifetime, sooner or later, and some of their personal data will come. Thanks to this, they usually move to the first group that regularly backs up their data. Photos and videos are often among the most valuable data. There are several options with which you can back up this data.

From the point of view of data protection, I would include Google photo data right next to storage on a Chinese server. For both, I will believe that they will not be shown anywhere, but I do not believe that the information would not be processed by machine.

What are we going to lie to ourselves, what company in the world doesn't do this... probably all of them.

At the time, I did not notice information about Apple making money from information about users. I believe that is exactly why we pay so much for their products. The word "believe" is important there. In any case, such large companies are under the criticism and control of many eyes, so if they handled the data differently than they have in the conditions, it would be an affair.

Shared albums on iCloud also do not count towards paid data, the tax for this is worse quality than the original.
