If you're looking for offsite backup (which seems to be the main use case of your use of Google Photos and now iCloud) then Backblaze if you're on Mac or Windows, or Backblaze B2 if you're on Linux is very affordable.

- pixelbath 7y agoI'm using Backblaze to hold my backups for both my home server and my production server. For almost half a terabyte of data I'm currently paying $1.89 per month for around 300 GB, which is down from the $2.04 I was paying when it was around 400 (fixed an exclusion directive in my backup script to store less files). It is absolutely worth that trivial price to know everything digital I give a crap about has an automated offsite and encrypted backup in addition to my other backups. I'm using the B2 storage (https://www.backblaze.com/b2/cloud-storage.html https://www.backblaze.com/b2/cloud-storage.html) since I'm backing up multiple machines and arbitrary sets of files, and it works on a pay-for-what-you-use basis. You can get more storage (they say unlimited, and I couldn't find anything in their literature to contradict that assertion) in the basic backup plans, but you don't get as much choice: https://www.backblaze.com/cloud-backup.html https://www.backblaze.com/cloud-backup.html
