I’ve mostly just relied on Google Photos, and I really like its features. However, I have always been deathly afraid of losing access to my Google photos account and losing all of those, so I need a better way to actually back up my photos. Right now all I do is do a Google Takeout every so often, but that’s inefficient as hell.

How do you do it? How do you backup or sync your photos with a PC/local server?

    For Android, i connect my phone via usb copy things to a temp folder and then have a small scrip that will archive the photos using timestamps in my nas. This is the heart of the script that goes through varios temp folders:

    for i in $FROMD1 $FROMD2 $FROMD3

    do

    cd $WD

    exiftool -d “%Y/%m/%d/%y_%m_%d_%H_%M_%S%%-c.%%e” “-Filename<DateTimeOriginal” $i

    done
