Hi everyone!

I have a ton of photos and videos on my iPhone and thus far only have iCloud to keep them in check. Basically I want to find the best and safest ways to backup these memories, preferably multiple while still using iCloud, so that if anything happens with iCloud I’ll have multiple fallbacks. I was thinking about using Google Photos and a Sandisk iXpand drive, but I’m a bit weary about Google Photos being that I’ve read that iCloud Photos and Google Photos don’t get along well on the same device and can delete images and videos. Can anyone help with this?

I’m also working on cutting down on the amount of photos and videos I have, but I want to back them up now while I work on that.

Another question, if I use the iXpand drive and put the photos and videos there, would I be able to plug that and another flash drive into my laptop at the same time and copy everything from the iXpand into the other one, without having to move everything onto my PC first? I don’t have enough space on my laptop so I’m curious if I could do that and have 2 flash drives with my memories.
