It's A Digital Disease!

I need online storage to back up my data (photo, video, files). Total size about 1.5TB. After some reading, I thought Google One 2TB (100 euro/year) would fit the needs.

I do have already Google One 100GB, but so far, I only use it via my Pixel phones. I have never used Google One from PC. From what I read, there is Google Drive for Windows which I can use it to sync.

If you use Google One for online backup storage, is it reliable? What are the hidden caveats or things that I should know?

Note that the purpose is just for backup. At first, I wanted to use Backblaze B2 pay-as-you-go ($6/1TB/month), but Google One is a bit cheaper, and I can use it also for our phones photo backup.
