Old Home Video Online Storage

I am taking a bunch of old family home videos that are on VHS and converting to digital. I'd like to find a way to be able to share them online with family members. Is Youtube the best option or are there better alternatives?

How much storage is needed? Private youtube is an option, or a MS subscription with OneDrive (annual family plan is $99/yr). Unless you find the desire to buy a nas for home use and can then share it out to then.

I do this for my family on a plex server.
I went ahead and paid for the lifetime Pass membership for some reason. I think it allowed sub accounts and free access to either Roku or iPhone app or something like that, and I wanted the easiest experience possible for everyone. The other reason was it allowed me to share a local antenna TV signal over Plex to my family (maybe that was the reason I actually did it- they were evacuated during a hurricane and wanted to see the local coverage of the aftermath/announcements. It may just be wholly unnecessary for what you want).
I also have the lifetime premiere version of Emby which is extremely similar with a few +/- to both.
In terms of redundancy, I have a copy on my local hard drive and another on a synology NAS in RAID, and there are digital copies at most of my siblings’ homes. Real backup would include redundancy with an online or remote site mirror, but i am not that fancy and understand the risk.
