Online photo storage

Just curious. I have an iPhone. And I’m always getting pop ups saying I need to buy iCloud storage. But I’ve never bought extra and it always stores stuff. Is it a scam or should I pay $2 a month for extra storage?
Not sure I trust anything cloud... too many ways of being hacked and people getting access to my devices. I just put them on a thumb drive and they last forever
hows the tinfoil hat fit?
. Do you have any pictures that would incriminate you? I dont back my photos up, because well, frankly, I dont care that much about them long term. I do have 200gb of icloud storage though.Apple One Family. $20/month, and you get Music, TV, Arcade, and 200GB
No pictures to be embarrassed over and the tin foil hat is actually aluminum with antennae... When items go a "cloud" it is an actual server that stores it. I guess being being born in 1963 makes me an untrusting person who knows through life's struggles that nothing is secure and safe. If a person can find a way to get into your devices to find credit card info and all stored passwords they will do so, people just suck. So, I will never store anything on a cloud for any reason. So if it makes me a lunatic, I will wear that badge proudly.hows the tinfoil hat fit?

FYI, I was joking about the tinfoil hat.
Yeah, I know what a “cloud” is. Im in tech sales. We are moving from our private cloud solution to a public cloud right now.
Storing photos in the cloud doesnt provide hackers a way into your phone. It apps (although Apple tries to block malicious apps through their app store), or via malicious websites.

No offense taken, just wanted to make sure you knew what type of hat it was. Someday they will find the back door to do this... eternal pessimist on technology. It is great for what it is intended for, but as usual people take advantage of it. Love self contained programs and that nature, but to put any type of business dealings or personal items in a cloud... (After awhile clouds get full and it rains, hehehehe)
Im just saying that that type of hack isnt worth it when other vulnerabilities are much easier to exploit. And more than likely they'd hack the icloud network, not just pictures. They would get access to your info that way. And you need an icloud account to connect to the app store, unless you connect to a 3rd party store on a jailbroken phone, which is a hacked phone. Who knows what the jailbreaks do to the security of the phone as a whole.
but to each their own.

Google. I pay like $20 for 100GB yearly. Automatic backup of all iPhone photos in original format using the Google photos app. Accessible anywhere and I can delete them from the phone but keep them in the cloud.
I have stuff backed up to Google now. Whatever you do, don't use Dropbox. Their ****** app brought my system to its knees, and used up half of my hard drive space with their virtual drive garbage. I signed up because they got good reviews, but the fake reviews must have been bought from a farm in India, because it was the worst.
I actually use OneDrive. We have a corp 365 account, and they want us using it as opposed to network drives. Took some getting used to. I need a I figure out how to remount certain folders to it. Ones like desktop, my document, and downloads
