There is no option for ICloud Backup to backup to anywhere but iCloud.

Google and Verizon (and possibly others) have their own options but be aware that they are not identical to iCloud Backup.

How about if I want to move my pictures and other media from ‘overloaded’ iCloud to, say, photos/Google.com/myaccount[fictitious], or similar, is there a way without first bringing my 200+Gig files into my iPhone, (downloading) then uploading to new storage — that is, some app that will allow direct cloud to cloud transfer?
