After setting up a Gmail account in the mid-aughts, Mark, who is in his 40s, came to rely heavily on Google. He synced appointments with his wife on Google Calendar. His Android smartphone camera backed up his photos and videos to the Google cloud. He even had a phone plan with Google Fi.

Dumbass. Get a nextcloud installation and own your own cloud. Owncloud is another. Here's my nextcloud, https://permasteader.route66custom.com/cloud/index.php/s/2ieKHJxFzADHRb6 - My prepping and homesteading library that I share. (feel free)

There are tons of apps for nextcloud including integrated calendars, files, email. I have a desktop sync client and a special nextcloud folder on my PC. Anything I drop in the folder gets synced to my web installation. (and I run Linux)

Does nextcloud do auto backups of photos and files?

Label me a dumbass. I’ve programmed assembly and object-based languages and this is too complicated for the average phone user.
