Since you cannot really re-take photos and the author has decades of photos, I'd be more paranoid about backups and extend it with one low tech option. Sync mechanisms can go wrong. Somebody might hack into your cloud storage account and wipe it out. The odds may be small, but you'd be absolutely heart broken if your lifelong portfolio is gone. So what I do is that once a year, I manually back up everything on a USB disc. On two actually, the second disc I bring to another location. Once backed up, I never have them connected. They just sit in storage. Since this manual backup is so infrequent, it's not a huge pain. Should full disaster strike and all hot backups fail, at worst I lose 1 year of photos, which is better than 20 years. If you think I'm too distrustful of sync tech: a year ago at work OneDrive wiped out all my files. I've pressed internal IT and Microsoft itself for answers, but none were given but this: OneDrive is a sync solution, not a backup solution. Point taken.
