google is our offsite backup. i’ve got a decent onsite already. i haven’t the energy to de-google right now but like, in six months maybe. my todo list is, uh,
I was initially just doing local backups but I decided I wanted something offsite and Ente has been great.
There’s also Immich which is very similar to Google Photos in terms of features, and NextCloud which is a whole cloud suite. These aren’t encrypted by default though so if you use a cloud provider they could realistically also scan through your photos.
i feel you, i still have all my old photos from 2020 and before on google photos. the google takeout function didn’t even work for me, nearly half my photos were missing, so i have to manually download them i suppose. i get anxious still having so much stuff on there, but it’s so hard to migrate off especially after using it for a decade!
i’ve still got to ensure all my photos are off my last phone and on both backups (and that’s important because my dad died when i had that phone) and then make sure all the current phones and photos are backed up, and then make sure the current compy’s documents are backed up and i can try installing mint!

If you care about encryption I’d recommend Ente. They have guides for migrating from Google Photos.
