Mastering Photo and Video Storage: Regain Control in 5 Easy Steps
Apple and Google offer convenient cloud storage for photos and videos, but some users are concerned about being locked into monthly subscriptions and potential privacy issues. To regain control, users can download their files from the cloud to a computer, disable automatic backups, and transfer new files using a USB cable or syncing apps like Dropbox. It is also recommended to create backups of the files on a separate device or a network-attached storage (NAS) drive, ensuring data security and reducing reliance on cloud storage subscriptions.
