Dropbox for everything except photos, videos and security-related info.

I used to keep photos and videos on an external hard disk with a jwz-style backup mechanism and Lightroom 3 for organizing it (kept the light room database file on the hard disk itself)

Now just gave up and use iCloud Photos. Not as good as Lightroom but can't find anything better that's also easy.

Secure details go into 1Password with a printout of emergency keys in a wardrobe under lock.

I used to use Evernote but moved away from it soon after they started introducing chat and a bunch of crap no one cared about.

I keep copies of often-referenced items from Dropbox in Apple Notes but the master copy is a file in Dropbox.

I'm using the Shortcuts app on the phone to take a receipt from an online payment and file it away in the /receipts folder in Dropbox.

I used to have an IFTTT integration to take all the photos I posted on Facebook and keep a copy of them in a Dropbox folder as well. It probably still works but I don't really post stuff anywhere any more.
