Ok, so I don't know if I am a date hoarder or not, but I have a lot of files on a NAS that are 100% of my family. Most of the files are JPEG, RAW and either cellphone videos or GoPro footage. My NAS is accessible via my laptop as well as the TV that is in the living room via Plex, but that's what led me here. My wife is a little less tech savvy than I am and while the files are accessible fairly easily to me, I am concerned that if anything happens to me she won't know how to retrieve our memories. Does it make sense to dump all of my files onto CDR's/DVD's? I have heard that USB flash drives can degrade over time or else I'd just purchase a bunch of those.

Edit: About 2 TB that will continue to grow. They are currently backed up on Backblaze. Looking for easy ways for wife to access files in case something happened to me.

Thank you for any advice!
