Also, Synology is giving one away free - maybe you will be the lucky winner. Google announced last year it was bringing its free unlimited Google Photos storage to an end, with charging to come in on June 1st, 2021. Photos uploaded beforehand don’t count, but all new photos and videos backed up are already counting against your 15GB free storage before you can expect an email prompting you to pay. Pricing is reasonable enough, but it goes up the more you store. If you have over 200GB of media, or you want to control your own privacy, Synology says you have another option.
