I’ve mostly just relied on Google Photos, and I really like its features. However, I have always been deathly afraid of losing access to my Google photos account and losing all of those, so I need a better way to actually back up my photos. Right now all I do is do a Google Takeout every so often, but that’s inefficient as hell.

How do you do it? How do you backup or sync your photos with a PC/local server?

    Personally, I prefer using a cable to transfer photos and videos from my device to my PC. Once they are on my computer, I make sure to back them up onto external hard drives.

      So you don’t do backups as it can’t be automated.

      Once a week becomes once a month then once a year then “uhm i think i copied everything a few months ago, it’s somewhere”, then one day the phone breaks and you lose a lifetime of photos.
