If you have a good network connection at home I'd replace that 'cloud storage' subscription with a low-power machine running e.g. Nextcloud or something similar, connected to your home network. You'll have all the storage you want for as long as you want. Make sure to make regular backups and you're done.

Everything is encrypted so those friends and family can be assured their private data stays private, same for me. I use Proxmox Backup Server for this purpose.

- hagbard_c 1y agoBackups are the solution to this problem and backups are necessary no matter where you store your data. Don´t trust commercial 'cloud storage' providers to do this for you, make sure you have backups available and test whether those backups can be restored before you need to do this in earnest.
