I store big files on my big hard disk. My Internet connection isn't really fast enough to conveniently use the cloud for files of 1 GB or so.
For sharing images, if i would do that, I would use Dropbox, I think, and send a link to people I want to share it with. Or use wetransfer.com to send it to them.

When it comes to storing files the rule of 2 (or more) applies since we can't lose what is in storage. So many "store" files on some site or external without backups and they learn the lesson first hand.

There's no reason why folk must learn this lesson on their own. It's been taught for decades.
