In the past I had a fairly manual photo backup workflow. I would plug in the phone and manually drag all current photos and videos into a desktop PC. From there they would get backed up automatically to two other places.
In prep for getting a 13PM I thought I would streamline this more.

I think what I decided on was to use iCloud Photos (200gb plan) to sync my photos to the cloud. One of the reasons is I do like keeping the Live Photos intact and removing them from the Apple ecosystem breaks this.

From there I need a physical backup to my desktop PC. I’ve installed the pc iCloud extension so we’ll see how easily that works out. I’m looking for suggestions on how to automate this part a bit more.

I then (once a month or so) rename them using Advanced Renamer and they get filed in folders by month and year.

From there the pc photos get backed up to a Synology raid 1 drive and also to Box using SyncBack Pro. This happens automatically every morning when the computer turns itself on.

I’m also dealing with a 10k+ 35mm film library that I need to integrate into iCloud.
