You could create a folder on iCloud Drive and use "File > Export > Export unmodified originals" to save the originals on iCloud Drive. When exporting, you may want to use the setting "Subfolder format: Moment Name". Then the images will be saved to folders named like the moment - the date and the location, and you can easily find them.
This way you will have additional copies of your photos in iCloud and can recover them, if you accidentally delete a photo. But you are still dependant on the internet to be able to access all your photos. It would not hurt to have a copy on an external drive, so you can access your photos even when the the internet is not working or Apple's Cloud servers are temporarily offline.

Hi Thanks. My photos are in Photos apps which is configured to push pictures on icloud (sharing service). Because I don't have enough space on my hard drive and I don't want to save same them on an external hard drive. I want to back up them on cloud (before I was saving them on google drive, manual process by using external drive). But is there any way to back up my photo (which are in Photos (icloud)) to my icloud drive easily ?
The only issue is the weight of files, I have 300Go of pictures maybe more. So when the copy is done on my local computer (in the folder icloud) I am quickly selecting all the folders and move them to the cloud (right click on it to not saved same locally).
Job done, I don't think I will keep the subfolder format, as i have many folders then. I will just export all in 1 folder. And do some backup like that. x times per year. I guess 1 day, apple will automatically provide a back up on icloud drive.
Thanks to all anyway. If someone has a better solution, please do not hesitate !
I have seen that: but I don't want manual process : Set up and use iCloud Photos – Apple Support (UK)
Thanks, i thought to that already. That's a good way anyway if there is no other process to do.
Thanks again
