If you have amazon prime, amazon photos can backup unlimited photos for free. The best totally free option is probably doing a smart switch backup to your computer and storing it locally

You used to be able to save to Google photos permanently but now they only keep them for shirt time

you could use a Flash Drive, there also portable Hard Drives such as this one. https://www.westerndigital.com/en-gb/products/portable-drives/wd-elements-portable-usb-3-0-hdd?sku=WDBU6Y0020BBK-WESN

There are cloud storage services which offer a certain amount free https://www.experte.com/cloud-storage/free-cloud-storage

Samsung cloud currently does not back up photos but the option seems set to return in April 2026 https://eu.community.samsung.com/t5/samsung-lounge/photo-syncing-with-one-drive-may-end/td-p/13275124?src=ShareByUserCM
