If it's not compromising to you in any way, just stick it in a decentralised cloud storage of some sort. Though do be careful with too many pictures of your home, vehicles, (or rather, their registration plates) children and such-like.

It's not automatically unsafe in itself to store those there, but cloud services do leak on occasion. At least multi-factor authentication is almost a must for securing the account itself. As for the data, you can do things like encrypt your archives, adding a layer of difficulty for the would-be exploiter to surmount. (This may help in "easier prey" sort of way. It will not help much against a targeted attack)

In Asmo's grey lump,
wrath and dark clouds gather force.
Luxembourg trembles.

Safety  of my systems is essential. cloud computing is one major security concern  for me.
I  once ran my own forum. I managed to piss off one person who, I am sure, "it" hacked my cloud server and left me with a joyous  gift that  saw me having to replace three   10TB USB hard drives at @$1200 a pop.
I now run a complete set of forensic and security tools over all incoming  web traffic.

It matters not how strait the gate,
      How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate,
      I am the captain of my soul.
