Preserving Memories: Where to Safeguard Your Videos and Photos for the Next 3 to 60 Years?

[backgroundISneeded]

Recently, I lost pictures and videos I took in Africa a long time ago. They were stored on an SD card. So I started looking for a safe place where I could store my photos and videos without worrying about losing them. I searched on the internet, but I couldn't find any satisfying answers. However, I'm still searching for a reliable place to store my precious memories. Do you have any suggestions?

There are several options for storing photos and videos safely. Here are some suggestions from the search results:

1. Flickr: Flickr offers free storage for 1000 videos or photos if you allow ads on the site. If you don't want to see any ads and wanted unlimited photo storage, Flickr offers a paid plan

You should have physical storage you could get hacked.

One piece of advice. If you are going to store something on a SDD card or another physical storage space. Don't put it around heat , it will damage it

Learned it the hard way myself. I turned on the AC and put it in a bag next to it and it became damaged, luckily i got it to work for 2 minutes to extract everything.
