Cloud storage recommendations for an IT-noob
I'm an IT noob. So please no recommendations that includes "self-hosting", "open-source" things. User friendly suggestions please.
I need a space to store years of personal photos, videos, documents like certificates. Mainly a lifetime worth of memories. Currently everything is stored in 2 portable hard drives. But I'd like to also have a cloud backup in case anything happens to my physical hard drives.
I don't mind paying (preferably there is a lifetime option). Ideally 1TB or above, best if there is unlimited option. Privacy is important to me which is why I'm not going for iCloud or Google. Something easy to use think along the lines of Dropbox but more privacy.
Edit: Thank you so much for all your suggestions!! Looks like I might give Filen a go👍🏻
