I still remember when this cloud thing was just starting, and some people were absolutely glowing that they can have 4 gigs in the cloud for only 5 bucks a month. At the time I had been drowning in 4GB and larger memory cards for probably a decade.

    Then you didnt do the holy 3 Backup steps

    1. 3 Copies from the document
    2. 2 Different storage devices/devicetypes
    3. 1 Offsite copy

    And if you really need really fast updates. Then why not use a self hosted NAS. Because there you can controll what happens to the data and not a big coorperation that scans through your files (even encrypted zip files).

      And manually copying your data to 2 devices daily and haveing a offsite copy is easier/better than having a 99 cents/month icloud+ subscribtion?

        1. Apple ewwww
        2. You know we are here at [email protected] ? You are not making friends for telling this here.

        There are enough open source, self host(able) free solutions. And if they are so important why are putting it on a untrusted provider aka apple that access the photos without your consent.
