I use Android phone, dslr camera, & MacBook Pro.
I subscribe to iCloud. Also all photos from phone are synced to Google Photos in HQ format (free unlimited).
I use Dropbox to sync photos from phone to MBP.
Then I use Lightroom to move photos from Dropbox folder to my external SSD and free up space on Dropbox.
Also I use Lightroom 6 to import photos from DSLR and keep them on external SSD.
Then I open Apple Photos and import photos from SSD into Apple Photos. Since I have a small SSD in MBP, Apple Photos uses "Optimize Storage" setting. I can access these photos on iPad. I prefer iPad for photo and video editing.
Finally, I copy all content from my SSD to NAS backup.
It is a bit clunky. It would be really great if Apple Photos let you make backup on your local HD/NAS.
