How do you actually back up and save your photos and media off of your Android phone? (self.android)

I've mostly just relied on Google Photos, and I really like its features. However, I have always been deathly afraid of losing access to my Google photos account and losing all of those, so I need a better way to actually back up my photos. Right now all I do is do a Google Takeout every so often, but that's inefficient as hell.

How do you do it? How do you backup or sync your photos with a PC/local server?

Look into getting a USB-C flash drive and transfer the photos to that. You can find a 128gb drive for $15.

USB flash drives are not reliable for long-term storage. Please make sure you have another backup if you keep your photos on one.

I have two backups systems. One uses rclone the other is a python script using ADB.

You mean manually moving it using a file explorer on my phone right? I mean that's my plan B but I'm hoping for some app that could help me sync or do delta updates in a more simplified way
