Clutter-free and cost-effective service subscriptions? (discuss.tchncs.de)

What are your thoughts on finding a good level of subscriptions for online services, such as storage, photo backup, music streaming, video streaming?

Personal situation: I don't want a ton of subscriptions. I take lots of photos. I listen to music quite a bit. I live in a household that has Android, iOS, iPadOS, MacOS, Linux, ... and a Synology NAS that is already filling up with old music and video stuff from before streaming, phone photo backups as well as the photos from the big camera (manually copied so far). I currently pay for two cloud storage thingies and have to free ones, 3/4 are full :P We also have Spotify Family and cut down to only (HBO) Max and public service for video plus sometimes getting something specific for a month or two.

Any experiences or other observations welcome as well!

I’m skilled with IT stuff (I guess many are on here) but have plenty of that at work and a highly varying degree of time for such things based on what’s happening in life. I guess the more handheld something is the more I fear it might break when I absolutely don’t have time or mental capacity to deal with it. I’m getting quite comfy with how well the Synology works. It’s kind of weird there isn’t a “pay up and just extend the synology into the cloud automagically” - it all sounds adding more possible failure sources.
