Exactly this. I have Google photos and I use it all the time, for everyone. But I also back up everything I can using the [gphotos-sync](https://github.com/gilesknap/gphotos-sync) python script. As it says, it's not the 100% quality in either photo or video, but it's still the memories.
Please if you aren't backing up your cloud storage photos/important files, stop reading HN and go and set it up now.
I can recommend backblaze for cheap reliable storage and the restic backup client which is brilliant (a single, small binary). There's also rclone, or even the backblaze cli client. [Sorry I sound like a Backblaze shill!]
I found a tool to do just that, iCloud Photo Downloader[1] (tho you do need to have your photos backed up to iCloud).
I run it as a cron on my NAS, and the only intereaction I need to have with it is to give it a new 2FA code every ~2-3 months. Highly recommend it
