What do y’all do with all your photos once your phone / iCloud is full….?

I used to just move them all to an external hard drive, but then I don’t have access to them, but also technically backing them up to once place means that could still fail and it’s best to backup to multiple places

@mikaelacaron buy more iCloud. I’m at 2 TB for my Photos library and for me it’s worth the cost to always have them available (with an internet connection at least). I also have a 4TB Mac mini that keeps a local copy of everything then backups to Backblaze for added security

@wahoo so your Mac mini is this connected to your iCloud so it automatically syncs, and then that’s backed up to Backblaze?

@mikaelacaron yup! I take photos on a camera too so this way I can upload to my ipad or Mac mini and they’ll make their way into icloud and eventually backblaze too without me doing anything. Not the cheapest option, and apps like Lightroom are more powerful, but it’s super easy and I get to take advantage of all the ML and Apple Intelligence advances in Photos for a library of over 100k photos
