I just recovered my Google account after being locked out and my biggest panic was Google Photos. Researching how to get back into my account has brought to light what a bad storage system I have chosen.
So now, I have 15 years of my family’s photos sitting in Google Photos - and I want to back it up.
Currently, my household’s photos (myself, husband, 2 kids) phones are all linked to my Google Photos and we all like the ease of the syncing to one spot.
I now realize this is for photo use not really storage.
Where should I store my photos? And what is the easiest way to move those 1000s of files to the storage.
I want to continue to use Google Photos but would like a secondary spot preferably that backups automatically from the phones as well.

A discussion on the weekend with my family - someone stated that their dr said he should only sleep in increments of 3 hours due to a sleep cycle being 3 hours. He argued that a 6 hours sleep was more beneficial than an 8 hour sleep. He sounded a little gimmicky. I didn't argue because it wouldn't worth it. Is there truth to this? Is there studies to back it up?
