About month ago, Google somehow scammed me to switch plan with their unfamous woke AI. I thought they would try to lure me to taste Gemini and if it is ok then I will decide to switch from ChatGPT or other services I pay. But as soon as I switched, I found that now the price for Google One is 10-12 times more with storage I don't need. I barely use 1 Tb with 15 years of contents. Shame on me I trusted Google again with my personal data.

So, now I have time until July 31, 2024 to transfer all my photos and data to somewhere else. Because Google One doesn't provide any options to switch back to my old 2 Tb plan. Funny part that I paid for my 2 Tb plan upfront for one year and spend about just half of this period.

What do you recommend as an alternative to Google Photos and how can I save my data? I remember that they use internal format to store images and once they ask me to switch to this format to save data. Did you recover from this move and were able to restore all your family photos?

I need something reliable with phone backup application. Preferably with a family plan. We mostly use Apple phones and computers with my wife and kids.
