I don't use GAFAM storage.
I barely take any photo anymore, but I use Filen.io fully encrypted cloud storage (they're made in Germany) to keep a copy of all my files, including the occasional picture. It's a simple copy of the files and folders on my drives. I also have local backups on external storage (two differents) that are simply encrypted and rotated on a bi-monthly basis.
For non-confidential work-in-progress I use a different cloud, Swiss this time: Infomaniak KDrive. It's working real nice but there is no E2EE (if they wanted they could see the content of the files, unlike with Filen).
Edit: I should have mentioned both services also offer an app that can backup the photos on your phone, if you need one.
What is GAFAM?
Without dereferencing that acronym, I'm not sure whether I'm using GAFAM storage either.
I don't get the 'dereferencing' part of your question (English is not my native language) but if you are wondering whether or not you're using them: if you use Google, Apple or Microsoft cloud you're using a GAFAM (the F stand for Facebook which doens't offer cloud storage). You may also be using one unknowingly by using a third party cloud provider that still uses one of them or even Amazon AWS storage, which would be the second A in GAFAM ;)
The two I use are supposedly not using gafam services and use either their own servers (for Infomaniak) or the German Hetzner (for Filen).
Filen.io looks promising, thank you
You're welcome.
