    @Luis Manuel López del Puerto You may want to investigate FamilySearch CETs

    https://www.familysearch.org/en/labs/docs/CETsLearnMore

    Still very 'new' and would require creation, download/upload of a GEDCOM file. Gets you your 'basics', but not so sure about your sources/photos

    Here are some links to assist you with Uploading a GEDCOM file to FamilySearch.

    The first is a short video

    How Do I Upload a GEDCOM File to FamilySearch? 

    When you upload a GEDCOM file to FamilySearch, the information becomes available for others to search in the Pedigree Resource File (PRF). Find it in Genealogies.

    Keep in mind that once you have uploaded a GEDCOM file or an entry to the Pedigree Resource File, it cannot be edited. To update this information, delete the current file and then submit the updated version.

    Ordinances within a GEDCOM file are not uploaded or transferred to Family Tree. Ordinances in Family Tree come from official temple and membership records.

    What happens to information uploaded from a GEDCOM file? 

    Hope this helps you

    One thing to note about using Genealogies vs CETs is that with a CET you can full edit after your GEDCOM is uploaded and you can add Sources found on FamilySearch to your CET. That said FamilySearch is making CET available as an 'experiment', part of FamilySearch Labs and therefore subject to change

    I'm not clear from your original post which of the following you want to do:

    1.Use FamilySearch's Genealogies area to back up your family tree in a non-editable manner (while continuing to use MyHeritage to work on the tree)

    2.Use the beta CET capability in FS' Genealogies area, loading your tree from MyHeritage as a one-off and updating it in CET thereafter

    3.Load information from MyHeritage into the main collaborative FS Family Tree, taking care not to duplicate or overwrite the information that may already be present there for some/many of your family members

    If you want to do no.3, see, for example, this recent thread:
