My pictures and videos are synced to iCloud, Google Photos, and MS OneDrive. My photos are synced to Amazon Drive too.

Do you use the same email or 2FA for all of those? If so, you still have a potential single point of failure if that provider decides to ban your account.

  It is unlikely that both the email and 2FA will fail you at the same time, unless perhaps you are using gmail and Google authenticator (though I am not sure how much authenticator is tied to your Google identity as I don't use it). Use email, phone and app 2FA plus printable 2FA codes, and you'll always have a way. Frankly if all of these can be made inaccessible in one go then the setup was mighty flawed to begin with.

    Google authenticator was entirely offline the last time I checked, so even it should be fine.

  No. - iCloud 2FA is another Apple device. - I don’t care enough about my Google account to have 2FA. Besides the occasional SMS. - Microsoft 2FA is Microsoft Authenticator.

    Microsoft 2FA is any TOTP Client. I use it with KeePass (Strongbox Client on Mac and iPhone)

That sounds sorta expensive but I get it. I’m at 3tb of photos and videos. It’s becoming unmanageable… anyone aware of an self hosted multi redundancy photo storage that doesn’t involve manual copying of large amounts of files? Or other non time consuming setups that works with iPhones (me and my SO)?

  OneDrive - part of the $99 Office365 subscription. You get 1TB each up to 6 users Apple iCloud - 2TB as part of a bundle. Google Drive - I haven’t had to start paying for it yet. Amazon Drive - part of Amazon Prime

  I use Backblaze B2 and ‘PhotoSync’. PhotoSync is great in any case, as it can push and pull from basically anywhere. The only issue is it’s phone based.

I just do real time photos to iCloud or google, and full backup of everything to backblaze.
