My dilemma: I have almost 2tb of pictures and videos on my google drive & am running out of space. Have been intending to back them up in other places/externally for a while to free up space and protect them in case the worst happens, but am honestly unsure of the best route. Probably 800gb+ of videos and the rest are pictures.

I have deep dove on this subreddit but I am not educated on this stuff at ALLLL so I’m not understanding a lot of terminology. I’ve seen the 3-2-1 rule but its not super clear to me. I’ve been considering an external hard drive (?) but I don’t know if that will do what I want. Would it make sense to use something different like dropbox in addition to google? I’m also slightly broke so more monthly subscriptions to things is a bit outta question

Sorry if these are dumb questions lol i just don’t wanna lose my data & have about 400gb of space left
