Here's how I do it...

- subscribe to iCloud 2TB plan

- all photos on my wife and my devices are auto uploaded to the cloud

- i run a synology nas that downloads and organizes all the photos in a directory structure YYYY/MM/DD.

- a hyperbackup task backs up the (encrypted) photos to Backblaze B2.

That way i have my photos in apple's cloud, on my nas and in another cloud.

What do I use to download/sync the photos from iCloud to the NAS, you ask?? It's an awesome project called "iCloud Photos Downloader" - https://github.com/icloud-photos-downloader/icloud_photos_do...

I have it running in a docker container on the nas and it periodically syncs and keeps itself up to date, no hassle. https://hub.docker.com/r/boredazfcuk/icloudpd
