I update all new and edited files to google cloud once a week, it takes seconds.

This way I'm covered whether there's internet or not. I have access to everything, all the time.
There are lots of options. I actually use about 500GB of space on OneDrive, most of which is for uncompressed music files. I also like the fact that anything I create on any device is automatically copied to OneDrive and immediately accessible anywhere. Unfortunately, a lot of people do not take advantage of any back up options and they sometimes lose valuable data.
