Yes, online cloud based storage is the best option especially if you’re using internet-connected devices.. By using cloud photo storage you can access all of your images from anywhere you are as opposed to continually buying storage devices like hard drives that can break, corrupt, or get lost or stolen. The only time the cloud is not better is when you will not have connectivity. Although it is a good idea to have cloud photo storage to back up your images and devices once you are connected again in case your devices get damaged.
