I’m no archival expert but here’s my lazy mans 3 location strategy.

I use iCloud photos by default, then open google photos app on my phone every once in awhile to have a duplicate cloud sync ($2mo). Then when I remember every month or so I open photos on my Mac and copy everything over to my synology nas which houses a master iPhoto library that is hundreds of GBs at this point. Using iPhoto is probably a mistake here since it’s fairly terrible, but not sure how else to reasonably manage all my photos. I’ve tried Picasa but came back.

I’ve been burned by apps like everpix cloud storage that suddenly shut down and gave me only a few days to download nearly a terabyte of now unsorted photos. Similar thing with Sony cloudstation. I wouldn’t trust any single cloud storage provider from screwing you at some point.
