Cloud Backup of Your Photographic Collection?
#11
Air Gapped.  That's the key word.  Online services are relatively reliable and offer remote access from just about anywhere, but a cheap stand-alone computer specifically for file storage-one that has never and will never be connected to the internet (and has a second, detachable hard drive) is probably the safest option.  Since you won't be processing on this computer, it doesn't have to have a high speed processor, large RAM or high end programs.  You could take an old computer you have lying around, reformat the hard drive and install Linux and be up and running in minutes.  I would recommend this in conjunction with an online service, not instead of, as having off-site storage is always a good thing.
