I once asked for a portable vacuum cleaner so I can vacuum my homelab easier hence more often.

The only reason I have FTP at home in an old printer that only supports it for wireless scan uploads. Rsync with SSH is the best, learn what -a, --delete and --checksum arguments do - they are very powerful. To strictly answer the question - SFTP.
I don't have a google account, so I use Invidious to discover videos from channels that I follow, then download them with my wrappers over yt-dlp that imports them catalogued to Jellyfin. right now I have like 4-6 TB of YT videos cached.
also I love the consistent UI of Invidious, without constant "new features" and popups. I'd love something similar for discord so I don't see popups for crap like "mega emojis" or whatever they call it.
I always hope the Pied Piper guy will come and I will be able to fit it all in one hand. One day, one day..
To answer you - don't be a martyr of your data. Find a balance. I chose to save everything, but compress the hell out of it. I.e. I save all photos from my phone, but compress them to 1080p and <= 1MB Jpeg. Because I don't need the tiny details from photos, I just want to keep memories.
