Probably not from their online service, but unless you switch on “optimise local storage”, all of the files are already on your local disk in JPEG or HEIC.
I make a lot of photos and videos, those take up a lot of space. 128GB to store everything locally won't cut it. That's why I have a backup in form of Dropbox.
Additionaly, I plan to amend that with a self-hosted solution. I know, this reeks of tin foil, sure. However, whenever I read a horror story of someone getting locked out of their accounts and loosing access to their data a chill runs down my spine. Everytime I see captach start popping up too often I wonder if I'm suddenly, for some reason getting close to getting banned. This is the same reason why I have a GSuite account under my domain and never use login with Blabla solutions.
