Take a look at the RavPower mini external SSD.
Compatible with Apple, PC, Android phones, encryption available by user, comes in 512 gb and 1tb, about $80 & $160 respectively. Cables included. Very satisfied with mine.
Until I work it out, is there a way to clean out some of your files to create more room?
Turn it off.
If you want privacy, talk to your dog.
Outside.
In a rural area.
Otherwise, fuggedaboutit.
ProtonMail is coming out with their ProtonDrive later this fall. Full encryption end-to-end. Stored on their servers in Switzerland.
Ping!
My advice:
Buy an external hard drive.
No need for a “cloud”.
If anyone knows if any mac geeks in FR besides our esteemed swordmaker, please ping them! Thanks!
I personally do NO Cloud Anything, but I also don’t make electronic transaction either and have never had a Social media account, best to remain obscure and hidden from plain sight as much as possible.
But as for my plans for world domination, I keep those securely hidden in my safe at home.

Dump any device that throws your personal info and files up into the ether.
What do you want to store in the could ? Photos and videos ?
If you're looking to avoid getting ads for Cruise lines after uploading your latest cruise photos then some of the more geeky solutions will work. Especially if you encrypt everything first. IE, think Dropbox, not Facebook.
Unfortunately the more geek-free and user friendly something is, there tends to be less privacy. Also, don't forget that if the service is free, you're probably the product.
They are all susceptible to the same risks and all are used by hackers to commit their nefarious acts. Best advice is to secure your VM by following the CIS benchmark standards found here for the OS and application of your choice: https://www.cisecurity.org/cis-benchmarks/

You can keep it all on your phone instead of having it copy to iCloud and then use iTunes to back it up to your local hard drive. That is what I do. You would need to change settings for each app that has been using iCloud, though.
My wife is paying for the first tier of iCloud backup. I think it is $12 a year or so.
None.
Use a thumb drive for all your files. They are small, portable and you just unplug them and your files are unhackable.
I don’t use cloud services except for immediate transfers of unimportant files between devices. The rest of the time, I have two 4TB external hard drives that I use, one of which is a back up of the other.

The only clouds that I trust & use are those that happen on an otherwise sunny hot day when the wife & I are bass fishing... Since she is 81 I don’t want the sun getting her skin all wrinkly, old looking, or cancerous...
By yourself an NAS box and store your files theres. Raid 1 configured preferably.
What are you looking to do?
