Proton Drive? I am skeptical about this one. I know Proton is more secure on paper. But it is like going from 1 walled garden to another.
Asking because right now we are paying for Google One 2TB, which is shared between my families. We have… A LOT of photos (some videos but mostly photos).
I find SSD for images on Immich not to be needed. Just keep thumbnails and database on ssd and you won’t notice the “lag” opening the detailed image from HDD. At least HDDs are cheap(er than SSDs)
So… how are yall storing your photos?
Offline server?

I’m running Immich.
If you have a really robust Internet connection you can reverse proxy into your home server. Make sure it’s SSDs though.
For me I just have 2 people so we share 1tb of a VPS and that satisfies the photos everywhere itch.

I don’t care about photos, hardly take any, so can’t give you an exact answer, but I assume self-hosting is the best approach.
