Switch to an iPhone.
Apple's software and services (sync, drive, photo backup etc) are so inferior, especially compared with Google's (technically speaking), you'd be anyway forced to use third party (often cross platform) solutions. No risk of going deep into Apple's ecosystem ;-)
Having used both Google and Apple for notes, calendar, docs, cloud back up (general files) and photos I have come to believe Google has the better tech but Apple has the better product. It fascinates me how Google just can’t design a simple and intuitive UI for its products, which are by all means technically superior.
I'm a happy icloud photos user. Other sync is not so good, but icloud photos works fine.
How many photos do you have in iCloud?
I have 40k. Works fine.
Apple limits other apps from performing actual syncing without being in the foreground. That’s a lockin feature.
iCloud stuff is generally fine, except for iCloud Drive which is atrocious.
