Unfortunately, having directly felt the brunt of Google AI deciding it needed to disable something about my account for no appreciable reason, this is simply not true.
Even if Google had reasonable customer support, relying only on a cloud backup is unwise.
UX being what it is, my aunt just lost most of her iCloud photos because she thought she was cleaning up her laptop to donate, but iCloud synchronized all the deletes up to her account.
My father "clicked the wrong button" and lost his entire Picasa library a while back.
More copies are better.
- Spooky23 6y agoThe person you are replying to said to add a Google Drive to existing local storage. Sounds like you agree.
- dialamac 6y agoI don’t think so... the one local storage mentioned originally would not qualify as a backup.
- SulfurHexaFluri 6y agoIts a backup of whats on your google account. You set your phone to upload to google and once a month or so you download the backup.
- m_eiman 6y agoIf you aunt deleted her pictures recently enough, she might be able to get them back: they're stored in a Recently Deleted folder for 30 days before they're really gone. https://www.imyfone.com/ios-data-recovery/how-to-recover-photos-from-icloud/ https://www.imyfone.com/ios-data-recovery/how-to-recover-pho...
