Where can I safely and reliably upload all my files from my computer to the cloud without using Google Photos?

I am trying to safely upload all my files and downloads into the cloud in case anything happens to my computer, but I don't know which service I could use for that. I know Google Photos is an option, but I have too many downloads on my computer—about 11 thousand, which mostly consist of artwork and screenshots I saved over the time I've had this computer and only use Google Photos for my Samsung, which automatically syncs and backups everything I download and screenshot. I don't want my files from my computer to be mixed with the ones I have saved to Google Photos. I am looking for a service that offers a lot of free space, probably a terabyte or more if it's necessary, has my files categorized by the date I downloaded them onto my computer, and lets me look up any file I want by its name.

Hi, I am Dave, I will help you with this.

Any cloud service you use if you require 1TB of space is not going to be free, you will have to pay a subscription

For example, OneDrive comes pre-installed n Windows, but if you need 1TB of space, the cheapest option would be to get a subscription to Microsoft 365 (Office) and you would get all the Microsoft Office apps and also 1TB of storage on OneDrive.

Otherwise, there are plenty of other cloud services like Dropbox.. etc. but I am not sure of how much 1Tb of space will cost on them, you would need to Google that to find the best option that suits your needs.
