Right, if you are unlucky bad things can happen with a single provider. I split my digital life and purchases between Amazon, Apple, and Google. Book purchases, occasional movie purchases, etc. I have moved on from having a massive personal library of physical books to mostly relying on digital media, eBooks and audio books. Splitting purchases between three vendors makes me feel a bit more secure. Probably most peoples’ most precious digital asset class is their personal photos and videos. I use a very simple setup: when I am at home on wifi, my phone updates all photos and videos to Apple, Google, and Microsoft OneDrive. If I am, for example, hiking and take a dozen pictures and/or videos, then before getting home to my wifi, I review and delete what I don’t want available during my lifetime. A secondary advantage is that all three companies run automated deep learning based systems that present my own media to me in interesting ways. For most of my digital life I care about and work for privacy, except for my photos and videos where I want maximum enjoyment for myself, family, and friends. I like to create photo albums and share links with specific people - so much better than posting on social media. EDIT: for book purchases, I also favor buying directly from publishers who provide ePub, Kindle, and PDF formats - all of which I save to all three cloud providers storage and for convenience import into one of Google’s, Apple’s, or, Amazon’s eBook readers.
