The problem with keeping it in iCloud is how do you get it all out of iCloud? Say onto Linux, or into another cloud like Dropbox or Google Drive?

You can dump them all via the iCloud.com website if you so desire, the iCloud software on Windows can do the same.

They just removed photos showing in drive, you still get unlimited photos/videos in original quality with a drive sub.

You can't sync your photos into drive, which is how I backed them up, using the `drive` commandline tool and then `s3cmd` to make another copy.

Sync to local storage, drag and drop, sync happens to other cloud.

Have a Mac running set to sync all iCloud content locally. From there you can manually access all media or automate sync/backup to some other service.
