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

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?

With my Samsung s22+ I can just plug in a usb-c cable to my PC and then browse the files on my phone to back them up.

I also have a flash drive where one side is usb-c and the other is USB A. SanDisk Dual Drive

Another alternative (more technical) could be to to use Solid Explorer which has the ability to setup remote connections to online backup. It also has a built in FTP server you can start on your phone and then from your PC you can connect and get your photos.
