It depends :-) Want to get to your files without being reliant on a toolchain? Go with a standard provider, I'm not sure what your objection is to google or dropbox, but there are a lot of fish in that sea like tresorit to cater to niche markets. If it's a security thing always question if the photos of your kitten are really that critical compared to the chosen solution. And as always if a government agency is your concern you're doing it wrong.....

If the toolchain doesn't bother you use cryptomator or something like that and just pick some storage where ever.

External HDD in a fireproof safe.

Just out of interest because I've never thought of this before. Would this protect the content from the heat of a good going fire?

Depends on the fire safe rating (which is classified by temperature and time).

They are supposed to and apparently work well, they do nothing to stop a thief so the fire safety is all they are good for.
