If you don’t want to pay for extra gigabytes in iCloud, try these other ways to backup your photos and other iPhone files.

February 27, 2020 For convenient backups, you can’t beat the always available, device-independent cloud. And iPhones make backing up to iCloud as simple as can be. Just turn on the option and stand back; your phone will periodically copy everything stored on it to the cloud. The only problem most users will ever encounter is running out of iCloud space: You get just 5GB of storage free, and that’s not very much in the grand scheme of things.
The easiest solution, of course, is to buy more space when the 5 gigs run out. But iCloud storage is subscription-based, which means that you’ll have to pay monthly (currently $0.99 for 50GB, $2.99 for 200GB, or $9.99 for 2TB). If you do not want running costs, you’ll have to look elsewhere. Let’s explore some alternatives.
Where to copy iPhone files: Cloud storage
iPhone backup to Google Drive
iPhone backup to Yandex.Disk
Third-party cloud backups and privacy issues
Where to copy iPhone files: Another device
iPhone backup to a Windows or macOS computer (except Catalina)
iPhone backup to a macOS Catalina computer
iPhone backup to an external or flash drive
