Cloud & backup

Choosing cloud storage, backup, and photo services by what matters most to you: privacy, portability, capacity, or the ability to actually restore.

How to choose secure cloud storage

Decide first whether you need end-to-end encryption or just a reputable provider. That single choice narrows the field more than storage size or price ever will.

Backup vs sync: why you probably need both

Sync keeps your devices matching; backup keeps a copy you can recover from. Sync alone will happily copy a deletion or ransomware everywhere — so it is not a backup.

Photo storage without getting locked in

Your photo library outlives any single service, so choose for portability first: can you get every original file out, in full quality, whenever you want?
