Hello
From the looks of that screenshot I'd say yes. However for my own peace of mind I'd make a back up on a USB/portage hard drive/other service such as Dropbox

@PurpleFrames thanks for the answer

Not without backing them up somewhere else.

I have mine on Google (I pay for extra storage) and on an external hard drive.

It will take forever with Dropbox.

There is a 2gb limit on a free dropbox account.
Are you paying for more storage 'cause I think you might struggle to fit 10000+ photos into 2gb (depends on size of photos)

Have you got Amazon Prime? You can upload masses of photos there but probably not today - I am currently uploading 143000 photos to it Grin
