I used to have my pics and videos stored on two hard drives as well as Google Photos. However, I'm reaching the end of my allocated space. My dad told me "the solution is simple, the videos are usually what take the most space. Simply transfer all your videos to YouTube and set them to private, and they'll be stored permanently without paying a cent." (that is, until YouTube changes their policy like Alphabet did with the "unlimited" storage on Photos).
I've downloaded all my videos and have begun uploading them to my channel as private videos. But I can't help but wonder, is it right to do so? YT is primarily a "sharing" platform, a social media. I don't want them to delete all my precious memories because they've been set to private for too long, or some other reason.
Is it 'right' to use YT as a long-term online storage solution for private videos?
