Default Google Photos will end its free unlimited storage on June 1st, 2021

"All photos and documents uploaded before June 1st [2021]
will not count against that 15GB cap"

"Google points out that it offers more free storage than others
you get 15GB instead of the paltry 5GB that Apple's iCloud gives you"

https://www.theverge.com/2020/11/11/21560810/google-photos-unlimited-cap-free-uploads-15gb-ending

"After five years of offering unlimited free photo backups at
high quality, Google Photos will start charging for storage once more
than 15 gigs on the account have been used.

The change will happen on June 1st, 2021, and it comes with other Google
Drive policy changes like counting Google Workspace documents and
spreadsheets against the same cap.

Google is also introducing a new policy of deleting data from inactive
accounts that haven't been logged in to for at least two years."

"Pixel owners will still be able to upload high-quality (not original)
photos for free after June 1st without those images counting against
their cap."

Slightly annoying that MS is trying to push everything to the cloud as
well. But at least if (as I do) you use Office 365 Home, that comes with
five installations, originally a Terabyte of cloud, and now a terabyte
per installation. I shall still keep some spinning rust, though, since I
seem to come back with 10GB even from a modest outing with the Hero 9.

But I'm becoming converted to the subscription/cloud model. Having been
collecting LPs and then CDs for 55 years, I now rely almost entirely on
Spotify.

I'm with you on _not_ storing anything important or private on the net!

o iCloud backups are NOT encrypted, by JF Mezei

o Hacker team led by 20-year-old finds 55 Apple vulnerabilities, 11 of them critical (e.g., iCloud & mac.com accounts)

Wrong.

Encrypted Encrypted
"Data In transit On Server

Backup Yes Yes

https://support.apple.com/en-ca/HT202303

That's what you get for believing anything JF says.

Was the rest of your post any more accurate?

You urgently need professional help from a psychiatrist.

Funny thing you mention the Costco special of a few months ago & this month

I have both the Costco Seagate 5GB & 8GB external drive.
o For some reason, the 8GB drive _requires_ its own 12VDC power to work.

For the life of me, I can't understand why.
o I get it that the 8GB drive has bells & whistles (powered USB ports).

But why couldn't they design it to work off of the desktop USB also?
