I shoot RAW, so the files I'm most interested in keeping don't have "names."

What the video suggested is storing your RAWs on a hard drive or cloud storage and then uploading hi-res JPGs with the same names to a private Flickr account. You can then search the images on Flickr to find the correct RAW file, plus you have a hi-res JPG handy should you need it. With them giving away a free TB recently, this may be the way to go.

I have a NAS system that I back-up my photos to, so that's what I use.
