I am just because it’s so cheap. On the family plan I get 5TB of storage for £10.49. Proton costs more than that for 500GB.

For cloud storage I use Filen (Germany), 10GB for free

But the closest thing to the 6 TB Microsoft offers, would be the 10TB from filen at €400 a year. Whereas with Microsoft, it's only $120 a year and you get all the other services. Say what you will about the quality of MS products, but they are the cheaper option here.

Plus it’s a backup location for stuff I simply can’t lose, like the photos of my daughter being born and my wedding. I don’t want to trust them to some company that might suddenly go into administration without any notice.

It's not a backup. You're using "cloud storage".

I just want you to understand that, because Microsoft's online storage is not somewhere I would entrust with precious data.
