Interesting - I figured 16gb would take care of it. Thanks so much!
Apple should be ashamed they even offer 8gb because it limits it to basically a chromebook workload.
If you can't afford less than ten bucks a month to protect your data, you deserve to lose it. Apple has a free 5GB tier, and a 200GB for $2.99/month. That's less than a meal at McDonalds or a gallon of gas.
And to pretend like $10/month isn't expensive for 2TB of data is nonsense. In one year, that would nearly pay for a 2TB NVME drive... which incidentally Apple charges several times that if you opt for it.
Subscription services are killing us, and a lot of people act like it's no big deal. And THAT is why companies get away with it. Thanks for your contribution to the breakdown of one-time licenses.

Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank Ananke
You do not "store" data, especially family photos in a laptop. Eventually the storage will fail and you will loose everything. For a regular person the easiest and cost effective method is to pay for cloud storage - you choice of Microsoft or Apple or Google.
My suggestion, if you are in the Apple ecosystem - buy the base MBAir for internet and Skype etc. , subscribe to AppleCloud where you will store your photos. If you have iPhones, just back their photos up in the AppleCloud. If you feel that AppleCloud is too expensive, explore Microsoft offers - an annual subscription of Office 365 comes with 1TB cloud storage.
Actually, you probably don't even need a laptop, you can do by using a tablet for internet browsing
You really really don't need 2TB of storage in a laptop.

Well, that will buy you 6-7 years of TB+ cloud space. Meanwhile, you would need to replace the NAS hardware by year-4-5 because of aging and reliability risk.
I myself run NASes and servers where I store personal photos, videos etc. It is very expensive and nerdy approach, not for a regular person - neither financially nor as effort.
And I have TB size cloud services as well

I can only recommend to add 16gb for $180 and buy external usb type c fast SSD drive if you need it
MBA m2 8/256 is best choice for fresh look, performance of 256 is a no brainer! (Fail model)
M2 air base model is a Beautiful overpriced peace of trash compare to base M1 air
So if you want beautiful insides of M2 air should look for 512gb must have and 16gb recommended. But 200-400 worth of upgrades it's too much, so get M1 air or M1 14",16" pro for more reasonable price. It's all depends of what you need from machine

The other scenario to consider is large file transferring over thunderbolt / USB (network speeds are not fast enough unless you happen to have a 10gbe setup) to another high speed SSD. The M2 SSD configuration will have a big impact here if you do a lot of this. If it's occasional, I wouldn't worry about it at all.
