These days, I only use a phone camera (Pixel 6 Pro) and it is configured to not upload my photos to the cloud. Every few days, I plug in a USB cable, move all of my photos off the phone to my computer, curate the photos (i.e. delete ones I don't want), and add them to my photo manager.
Curation is key to avoid having a mess down the road since I may take 10-15 photos of the same scene, and only save the 1 or 2 that turned out the best.
