I have about 5TB of movies/tv shows/photos. I have 3 backups: one is my main frequently accessed HDD. Another is another HDD i keep in my drawer and the last is google drive.

I'm not a programmer so idk how to verify whether there has been data loss but I make sure all the files on each are the same by using freefilesync (mac app). It takes so much time and I don't even know if the files are corrupted or not.

Is there some cloud option that I can leave my data on and pay $10-15/month to forget about it, using it as a last resort if all my local backups are corrupted?

I read quite a bit on this and people recommend backblaze (B2 I think, how do i even buy it?), AWS glacier and M-disks.

I have no idea how to operate any of those because I don't code. I do use rclone for Gdrive though.
