Anyone use Flickr for photo archive?

[Scam]

I really like Flickr, although I don't use it as much as I should. I noticed recently that you now get a whopping free 1TB storage.

My backup solution up until now has been Dropbox, due to me amassing 48GB free storage. However that has now run out, so I'm stuck with 7GB. I think I have about 38GB of photos including RAWs and everything. Not much, I know. My photography has taken quite the back seat in the last few years But I do want to take care of what I have.

My only issue with Flickr is that it doesn't seem to accept RAW? Is there any sort of workaround? I have Lightroom but I really want to keep things as easy as possible. At the moment my root 'photos' folder sits in my Dropbox so everything gets sync'd without me needing to think about it. Basically I don't want to have to export a separate file for Flickr or any other backup.

My other options is ditching Dropbox entirely (even though 7GB is enough for my Docs) and paying £1.99/month for Google Drive 100GB which will do me well enough for everything and (I presume) work very similarly to Dropbox.

Any thoughts?

tldr; <7GB Documents, <40GB photos, do I use Google Drive, Dropbox or Flickr, or a combination of both? Free is good

Oh I didn't mean to circumvent any rules, just wondering if anyone has found a good workflow that sorts of gets round it. I guess exporting un-processed JPEGs automatically or something and then uploading them.

I never wanted a NAS! Maybe in the future for bluray rips and other media, but I have all that on a RaspberryPi for now.

I've been doing some digging around with Google drive and it seems they don't support symlinks, which means you have to put all your folder 'inside' the Google Drive folder. That's a bit tedious s I want to back up things from a variety of places. Photos from my 'media' drive, Documents from my C: drive etc. What a shame Dropbox don't do a 100GB package, the jump from a free subscription to £7.99 is too much. I'm sure I'm not the only one who thinks that. £1.99/month for 100GB is perfect on Google, I just need to figure out if I can make it work.

EDIT: In fact I have backed up my photos to my RPi drive before, just never set up anything automated. Maybe that's something to look into when I've moved house. I do fancy something in 'the cloud' though, that I don't have to worry about.
