I still use google photos and I maybe intend on getting a nas in the future to deal with my 400gb and growing of personal photos and videos but I want to start doing some backups for example one to an hdd and another to a cold storage cloud thingy, the one I heard most about is backblaze but I also heard about Idrive which seems way cheaper, is that one good? Also any ideas on how to handle the camera roll backups easily? it should be something like Android -> Main PC -> Cloud/HDD or for the backblaze / idrive thing can I go Cameral Roll/ Android -> Cloud? Ty!

What I do is run Syncthing on all mobile devices, have it sync the DCIM folder to a desktop (running Syncthing).
That desktop is backed up by Crashplan currently. Long term plan is to switch to Backblaze B2.

I prefer Syncthing-Fork because it allows finer control of specific sync jobs.
For Windows there’s SyncTrayzor, which gives you a system tray shortcut to manage ST. https://github.com/canton7/SyncTrayzor/releases/download/v1.1.29/SyncTrayzorSetup-x64.exe
There are clients for Linux and iOS too. For iOS there’s Möbius Sync.
