iCloud for their phones and Family OneDrive for their laptops. It saved me a few panic-stricken calls of "Dad I can't find my assignment I did last year".

Now if only they would understand the concept of meaningful filenames.

As a teacher, I have often been astounded how 17 or 18 year old students don't know about backups and lose big project files at crucial moments.

I would encourage you to start looking into methods that don't gather your children's data

I think it is better to store your child's data in such a way that their files are both backed up and kept private.

That would mean hosting something myself and I never would want to do that. I do have cloud and home servers, but it does not sit right with me - rather Apple and Microsoft than their dad.

Maybe take a look at pCloud.
