View in browser  |  Your newsletter preferences By David Nield | 09.19.23 Apple and Google have made it incredibly easy for us to back up our precious photos and videos from our phones. It all happens automatically in the background, with no wires or extra software involved, and all that these companies ask in return is a few dollars a month and permission to keep your files on their servers. For some though, the disadvantages that come along with this convenience are starting to become more apparent. We're now more locked in than ever when it comes to cloud services and monthly subscriptions, and moving to a different solution or service—maybe because we don't like a change in the terms and conditions—gets increasingly difficult. There is actually another way, which is to manage your photos and videos yourself. It takes a little longer to set up and maintain, but it means your files stay exactly where you want them to, and aren't sitting on servers owned by someone else. It also means you're better able to choose what you do with your photos and videos in the future. If you buy something using links in our stories, we may earn a commission.
