in our case, the family photos, going back many years, were too large for dropbox, so we use both of google's unlimited photo storage ( just Ok them to compress any super large ones) and amazon's unlimited photo storage ( for as long as you keep up your prime membership)
took ages, but about 60gb is now uploaded to both. I don't fully trust their sync-with-desktop programs so I did it manually, one year at a time.
all new photos get taken either with a fire tablet or a google phone so they get auto copied to one or the other. i do have the camera upload to dropbox ON , on tablets as a further backup
my only gripe with the excellent google photos is that in Europe we cannot turn on face recognition and have it auto-build albums of people. I somehow got that to work for my account as it was a very old one, from before that rule was enforced, but not for my wife's gmail, which is our main photo storage account, I even went through the suggested workaround of log her in on a VPN to pretend she is in usa, and then try to enable the feature, but it still did not work
