Recommending Google as a backup in case Google decides to delete your videos sounds a bit suboptimal. Go with hosted backup; sure, for this use case that makes sense. But do so with a different company.

acquiring talent to manage google drive is easy. Not cheap or easy for Amazon/B2.

Please note that Google are perfectly happy to ban all of your accounts simultaneously. And your neighbors' accounts, apparently.

Note that in 7 years OP had one problem now... I know people with local NAS one need to do maintenance and so on. Again, depends on your technical ability. Bit-rot, power failures etc.

Why do you need to hire extra people to manage a cloud storage account with two file uploads per week?
