I'm a frequent internet user looking for an easy and reliable way to store my data. I write many personal notes daily, and I have a large number of photos (20k) on my Iphone. Additionally, I have over 700GB of various files, documents, and old system images.
I currently use icloud for my images. My files are either stored locally on my old Windows or in icloud drive on my Mac.
I own a Portable SSD, but i rarely use it. (still use 1,5 out of 2TB tho)
What storage solution would you recommend for my needs?
I've thought about something like this:
- Create a new Google account and purchase Google Drive storage.
- Upload all photos and icloud stuff to Google Drive, in a folder named "iCloud" for iCloud files and photos.
- Simultaneously, upload all files to the Portable SSD.
- Additionally, invest in a secondary SSD.
- Monthly backup the main SSD to the secondary SSD.
- Maintain a monthly routine of cleaning up iPhone photos, then upload them to both the Portable SSD and Google Drive.
What do you think? Will it be enough? Is it too much? Let me hear your thoughts. And please go easy on me😉
