This is more just a poor me/venting type post. This past week I was locked out of my iCloud and lost the last 2 plus years of pictures. Once I can regain access to my account I will still have some of them, I’m grateful for that but I could kick myself for not backing up the last photos. I’m a busy mom and it was always something I had on my to do list but I never got around to. I’m sick, anxious and can’t sleep. This has happened before and I eventually was able to cope and move on but it’s so hard. I have 3 children so all these memories are lost. I’m lucky I upload almost daily on facebook so I still have many, many photos there. This will never happen again. What do you recommend I do with my new photos and what’s left? Of course I will update daily/weekly to icloud but I would prefer an outside source as well.

    • Get at least 1 old Google pixel (1-5). Free unlimited uploads. Create 5 accounts. Duplicate all the time.

    • get a backblaze account. Dump there.

    • Amazon glacier. Cheap store.

    • get a MS one drive 1TB (maybe you can get some school discounts)

    • learn rclone and run scripts automatically to upload to all these services.

    • for all DH- nerds: though I know mom’s running Supermicro not everyone has time.

      So out of touch. A mom of 3 using icloud, and you blab about rclone, amazon glacier and whatever.

      Sometimes I feel everybody repeat over and over their nerdy lesson without reading the post, I feel this sub is often useless…
