Something to be aware of if you're considering mailbox.org: https://userforum-en.mailbox.org/topic/anti-spoofing-for-cus...

That's incredibly dishonest reasoning. Are you seriously telling me that unless people have a solution for fixing DNS, commercial email should be free to hand out used email addresses? Seriously?
Sure. Now that you've said what you wanted to say about how dishonest the question is, would you like to either answer it or explain why the analogy fails to hold?

Back it up to S3 glacier, or to Backblaze. The cost of it is pretty low, much lower than a VPS / bare metal box + 1 TB cost for the photo app hosting.
Technically I have no big doubts about S3 Glacier. But what happens if you don't use that stuff for a long time. You are in hospital when the bill needs to get paid. Your credit card gets stolen and the number needs to changed. Whatever personal crisis that you are not able to take care of life as usual for some weeks. They will just delete your data before you are back in business. Does anyone know how long it takes…
The price of Glacier Deep Archive is roughly $1/mo per terabyte. (I struggled to produce 500 GB of photos in 15 years.) Set up a dedicated AWS account, put $50 on it, set up a yearly auto-payment of $10, and you're likely safe for several years of nonpayment.
Retrieval is not free though, something like $20-40 for retrieval from tape, and about $90 for a terabyte of egress traffic. Okay for the rare occasion of a full restore.
Backblaze B2 is $6/mo per terabyte, and they only give you 44 days of grace period before deletion for nonpayment. But the traffic is free either way, up to 3x the amount stored per month. They are good for frequent full backups, and for doing full restores periodically.
I am self-hosting my email. It's a pain in the ass, but software like mox[1] help on keeping things easier. The most tedious part is to setup correctly SPF, DKIM and DMARC and ensure that your IP will be whitelisted. [1] https://www.xmox.nl/
Not an endorsement as I haven’t actually tried it myself.

Are you the type of person who thinks it's okay to dump garbage on your neighbor's lawn because governments haven't been successful at stopping pollution? Because that's the extract same rhetoric you're using.
I spent the past month "de-Googling" my life after I saw a notice in my Gmail inbox that it was 20 years old. I took a step back and realized just how invested into the Google ecosystem I was. Gmail, Calendar, Docs, Drive, Maps, Keep, Photos, YouTube, FitBit, Android. Basically my entire digital life. My goal was more diversifying than security/privacy, but security/privacy is a really nice bonus. I ended up going wi…

I'm still using docs, sheets, drive and maps.
Most of it because my clients use it. But drive and maps out of convenience. Don't know if there even exist something with a similar feature set as maps.
I probably could move my stuff to proto drive but the docs and sheets integration is vital for me.
Zoho Mail is very good, priced well, and available in multiple zones- EU/US/etc.
