<p>personally I run PhotoSync and <br>
then have a local cloud in a pair of Drobos (yeah, whole nether
story there)</p>
<p>I suspect that Apple cloud or Dropbox would be cheaper than S3<br>
Google photo is 15 GB free - 100GB $2<br>
Apple is 5 GB free - 50GB $.99/mon 200GB $2.99/mon<br>
Dropbox - 2GB free - $10/mon 2TB</p>
<p>SOOO many choices - can't even find a real free S3 (lots of
variants that are not simple files)</p>
<p>Takes some tech skill to even make sense of it all</p>

yes but - generally deleting an image on the phone deletes it from the cloud

I've yet to find a reliable way to delete from the phone without
deleting on the cloud,

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.
