Unless you're somehow looking for tonnes of storage, I don't think you need cloud services. I've set up just my 3 devices (phone laptop PC) to sync with each other using Syncthing. And that's plenty of space for just personal stuff (including photos). And it's so cheap (only the cost of the devices you're already using, and no subscriptions). It's something I wish most people did because of how prevalent Drive has become, even though it doesn't seem like it's necessary for a lot of use cases. You're situation might be different though, just a suggestion.

I have 1TB of Tresorit in case my house burns down.

Well Sync is not a backup, but I get what you mean. On top of that I do have my own Nas 😅 so using that with at least another separate offline ssd should be good enough.
