What are y’all using for cloud backup

So my lazy butt is finally getting around to getting some actual online backup for all my files, documents, photos, videos, blah, blah, blah. I use 200GB of google drive just for the everyday stuff, but I need about 3-4TB of off location backup. Not looking for the ability to sync like google drive, just archival storage. I will be adding a NAS this year as well (although mainly for music playback).

I’m looking into Backblaze B2, Drive, and Wasabi so far.

What are y’all using for backup?

Note: I’m fairly computer illiterate when it comes to this stuff.

I use a program called AllwaySync that does automatic sync/backup to two local and one remote drives.

I’ve got local backups, but I don’t have a good way to place a remote drive. I’ll most likely only need to backup once a month. I’d hate to lose all the music and raw photo files if the house gets blown away or something.
 
I have a Mac, so everything backs up to the cloud and I have 2 local hard drives that back up weekly.
 
I use Google Drive, completely manual (as well as two USB thumb drives, two PCs, and an additional PC at a remote location) because I've seen the Terminator movies and I know how this ends... 😭
 
I thought about putting all the important archival stuff on MDiscs and putting them them in my safety deposit box. But the box would have to be huge to hold that much data. I don’t want to haul a drive back and forth either. Google drive would work if I don’t sync. This will be archival stuff only that I don’t want changed.
