What is currently the best way to transfer photos between android and iOS? I want to keep all the EXIF/location data on the photos.
I have tried LocalSend and Snapdrop, is there any other tool I can try out? Selfhosted is a big plus.
Self hosted you could use Plex to automatically upload all photos to your computer then download as needed to the other one.
Personally I use Google photos to do this and it works great but will probably require you to get a subscription depending on the size of your library.
My personal phone is android with a work iPhone and I want to transfer things over sometimes so I set up my work phone to upload as well.
It’s been a while since I used google photos, but I’m pretty sure it downsizes photos unless you pay for it.
I think even the free tier allows for original quality but its been years since I was on it. You only get like 15 GB of space though as well.
Try Resilio, it’s p2p
Try syncthing, it’s cross platform and peer to peer. You can it up on a home server as well if you want.
Get a thumb drive with a lightening plug. They can be found on Amazon for like $30 for 1tb. They always have some/multiple usb choices too.
Not a FOSS solution but Google Photos works pretty well tbh
Maybe not what you’re asking for, but I’ve been using Synology Photos. I think Imich might also do what you’re wanting.
Warpinator, pushbullet
USB Transfer to a PC.
