VPS Storage question for photos

Hello, I am trying for a long time to find alternatives to move away
from google photos as my personal photos and videos continues to grow
I am fearing the headache it will be to migrate to another service
(have about 10-15k photos and videos its probably getting closer to
100gb or over by now).

For alternatives from what I have seen mentioned a good one would be a
nas like a synology one and using its app for photos but I'm still
unconvinced thats the best option for my usage, partially due to the
high upfront cost but also because I just need 300-500gb of storage
for photos and nothing else which is what brings me to the reason I am
posting here, to ask about the feasibility of another alternative I
have also seen people talking about which is a vps + a storage box
that one can mount on the vps and where I can use something like
photoprism or immich.

Could this be a good budget solution? Or is it too technical and even
unsafe if you are not super advanced into this stuff? Ty in advance!

You could look at something like Amazon s3 storage or a vultr block
storage solution.
