1. Have your email address on a domain that's under your own control. Whoever controls your email box has control over your entire online persona.

2. Backup data from Google using automated tools like rclone. Rclone can download Google Drive data and Google Photos (albeit with duplicates).

3. Encrypt and backup your data to services like Backblaze, AWS S3, Wasabi, etc.

At least for your photos, you probably want to use Google Takeout. Rclone is wonderful, but Google's photo api strips off GPS tags from all your files.

PhotoStructure will dedupe your Google Takeout, FWIW.
