Thinking like that could be your downfall some day.

"Free storage/features" are sometimes forced to "paid storage/features" as time goes on. Research PhotoBucket online photo storage. Research Wink smart home hub. Research Barnes & Noble ebooks. Research Canary video cameras.

Sometimes the storage company just plain goes out of business and you lose access.

Depending on free cloud storage is as Elton John would say, "Like a candle in the wind". Depending on paid cloud storage is slightly better, about "Like a BIC butane lighter in the wind".

If it's important to you, don't hand it to someone else for safekeeping. You can hand it to them for convenience, but safekeeping is your job and your job alone.
