    Thanks for posting this thread, Gella, it has been very helpful to me. Right now I am paying for Apple cloud storage due to the number of photos as it got above the free 5GB. I need to pay attention to this.

    The old axiom: When you are not paying for the product, you are the product.

    I, too, have had to suddenly download gigabytes of pictures when a cloud service went down. Most times I had notice. Other times I had backups. I would be pretty confident that Apple (iCloud), Google (Drive), and Microsoft (OneDrive) will offer their services for some time to come and will offer plenty of notice if they close down. But they, too, reserve the rights to use your images promotionally.

    Has anyone used Adobe Lightroom CC? From my limited research it seems to offer everything I want plus a lot of stuff I don't need. But it checks all my boxes and looks like it would be fun to use. The price is on the high side, $99 per year, but I would keep access to my albums even if I end the subscription. It would be cool to make some of my photos into artwork, mainly pet photos as mementos. I dislike framed pictures on the wall, but I like the canvas posters you can have made from photos. They offer a 7-day free trial to check it out.

    To Steve's point - I like the clarity of knowing I'm paying for the product.
