I.5tb, man that will be costly, why not buy a separate SSD to store on, I store forum stuff on 'google my drive' but 15gig is max free, not sure what you can pay for. I also have a 1tb SSD I use to back up my laptop.

I will behave now.Hard to add any useful comment on something I know nothiong about anyway!
Yeah I was considering SSD but don’t have a lot of experience with them. Are they significantly more reliable than a conventional hard drive, especially when getting older?
I thought 1.5TB would’ve been peanuts compared to what some people store these days.
If you are worried about deterioration, then I'd upload to another one in 5yrs time. They are cheap as these days and I'd be re formatting the older one and swap between them. I've just uploaded over 5000 pics and vids to one but can't remember if it is a 1 or 2Tb one. 🤔Yeah I was considering SSD but don’t have a lot of experience with them.

Just to show how it can quickly add up in a family scenario, we’re at 1.7 TB already with 2 iPhones, 2 iPads and 2 MacBooks all backed up automatically and all my wife’s photos and videos (that she plans to sort through one day).
Lots of stuff intentionally loaded to iCloud Drive as well.

I pay an Office365 home edition for all my family use, annual cost about $130, it covers 5 user accounts ( 5 people to use the Office 365 on all of their devices), plus each user account has 1TB cloud storage for free. Yes, it is only $130 per year! Super value! In your case, if you buy office 365, and you will have total 5 TB cloud storage ( must have 5 email address), plus free use of all features of the office. It works for all the systems: the Apple , and PC or Android system. works on PC, and any mobile phone. update: it actually covers total 6TB! and office for up to 6 people

I think I’ll look into this. We are 4 people in the family so this probably makes the most sense.
We all have iCloud accounts because we all have Apple devices but my wife and son’s free 5GB of iCloud storage is full of photos and videos. (We call my wife the Mammarazzi for a reason.
)
Ironicaly I just checked spam and there is mail from "cloud" informing me my storage is at the limit and I should contact the link ---- nah,thanks anywayI thought cloud storage was steam accumulated in the bathroom when SWMBO doesn't run the extractor fan
