I'm currently in the process of degoogling. There's a lot to consider.
It can be tough to do, I finally just got off Google photos backing up my pictures and videos maybe 2 weeks ago.
I already had them also being sent to my PC with resilio sync, but since I moved to Linux I didn't have backblaze anymore (B2 is too expensive for me and their "unlimited" cloud backup is mac and windows only) and didn't know of any affordable alternatives so I wasn't willing to drop my only cloud backup even if it's Google.
Eventually I canceled the annual storage plan and said "I'll figure it out by then", didn't figure it out, found jottacloud after that and am now using that.
Congratulations, you’ve come to your senses.
