    Mariosti got a reaction from wall03 in Thread for Linus Tech Tips Video Suggestions   
    Hi, considering recent info about Google Photos service loosing the unlimited storage for new photos (even in "high" quality instead of previously only "original" files) makes this a hot topic for 2021, the change is supposed to happen on 1st June 2021, and so it will affect lot's of users afterwards.
    This would be a great starting point for a video or a series of videos that would:
    - provide an honest comparison of the paid subscriptions and functionalities of the Google One Drive and it's competitors taking into account how easy it is to integrate with Android/Iphone, and a PC/Mac compared to the Google service (would be certainly interesting considering if drop box could be a replacement, or like a WD Cloud Home Nas, or a Qnap, or Synology, or FreeNAS), and also if it has any other benefits (like MS has a family subscription to One Drive + Office 365 for like 5 users i think),
    - going all in, what would be a good way to completely go off the "grid", loose google/apple/microsoft services as much as possible, suggest what decent Android Phones can be reasonably easily rooted, deoxed and degoogled, and than configured to work with some DIY Home server services), and basically either building a DIY Home Server/NAS or buying one from Qnap/Asus/Synology - whoever has good enough functionality, and getting your private cloud with good file access, good photo sync from phone, perhaps your own email server with calendar and so on, your own vpn and so on (also explaining to people external ip address, dynamic dns services and so on).
    - Also suggesting small vm's approach for services would be a potentially interesting subject to add to above (as a practical use of this vm concept that you already covered in a video a couple of months ago).

    I think that this idea could be a backbone for a nice series of videos that could get a lot of traction, and would provide lots of quality informational content that would mostly not get outdated too quickly.

    You did create videos covering some bits of the subjects mentioned above, so I'm certain that you have people with enough experience to pull this off, and having basically over 6 months to produce those should me more than enough.
