One can always backup from one "cloud" (Google Photos) to another "cloud" 
(say, Amazon S3).

Note: many Android phones include a uSD slot, so to conserve space on the 
"internal" storage, one can insert a uSD card and use that as a alternitive 
place to store stuff and keep the internal storage freer.  iPhones specificly 
*lack* anything like a uSD slot -- a distent downside to the iPhone.
