I don't know if you heard, but Apple recently introduced full end-to-end encryption for pretty much all iCloud data, including photos [0].
Just out of curiosity, would you still refuse to back up given this is the case?

- mortureb 3y agoI know they have backed out of scanning photos on your phone but that used to be a thing they did if you did use iCloud. Plus I have several dozens of terabytes of photos and videos of my family so the storage iCloud offers (until yesterday) wouldn’t have been enough anyways. I just use backblaze and their unlimited storage feature along with historical roll back which gives me all the storage I need. On the flip side I can’t use Apple Pay or Find My which is a bummer.

- quenix 3y agoiCloud certainly includes a backup product
- TheHappyOddish 3y agoApologies, I should have read the link. Most users conflate iCloud Photos with iCloud backup - the former being only a sync.
- zuhsetaqi 3y agoThe most secret data is data that‘s not there. Why would I choose to trust a black box cloud with any of my data not knowing what’s going to happen to it (now or in the future) when I can just use my PC for that. And local backups are faster, do store more data and don’t cost a monthly subscription.
