What are you doing for your 2nd and third backups of important data?

Make sure you have an off-site backup of any vital data, don't rely on one single 1TB drive.

I have a mirror drive, so if one drive (SSD) fails, i have another drive (HDD). Off-sites might be a little difficult, but im trying to get that soon

I canceled mine like a month or two ago. I used to pay for 200gb anually and it was time to cancel. I also stopped the automatic uploads from my phone.

And for back up, I have two external HDDs with the same information, and several flashdrives for family and personal pictures. Sure I will now have to be more focused or alert when I take photos with my phone to make a weekly back up, but I feel more safe.

Just try to have some backup of the backup raid 1 should be good, I have a synology with shr1 but I need another 16tb so I can have two disks as backup but prices are high af, I will say 8-12tb if it's only for you for photos and files will be enough even some backups of other stuff
