Looking for an alternative to synology photos. I moved over to synology about 3 years ago and am now considering moving out of the synology ecosystem. I’m looking for something that has a decent android app, wifi syncing, shareable albums, all the standard stuff.

Edit: thanks for the many replies, I’ll likely move to nextcloud as I was planning on deploying that anyway as a synology drive replacement. I’ll look into immich as well.

    Nothing beats Google Photos for me, personally.

    So I bought a used Google Pixel 1 (first gen) and use Syncthing to sync my camera roll from my phone to the Pixel 1.

    Google originally advertised the Pixel 1 as having unlimited cloud storage for life, so they have to stick to it. I don’t pay for Google storage but I’ve got at least 500gb stored in Google Photos (including all my RAW photos and my digitised VHS tapes).

    I’ll abuse this system until the Pixel 1 dies and I can’t get another one, then I’ll cry.
