Thanks to OpenAI, it's never been clearer that Sundar Pichai is Google's Steve Ballmer (bgr.com)

I wonder if this correlates with my recent desires to de-Google my life. I'm steadily growing less happy about daily using their services and them holding all my info.

I'm open to suggestions for cloud photo storage/management on par with Google Photos if anyone has some. I'm looking into FOSS but would rather pay for the service in the long run. These days I'm too busy to learn to be an effective server admin and keep up with the technology.

Proton, has email, cloud storage and VPN services.

I'll second Proton. It sucks to have to pay for services again to have something that matches the generous free shit that we got before... but seems those wild west days of the internet, unless you were grandfathered on or have to give up a lot of info in return... are now long gone.

I'm particulay looking for.the functionality of Google Photos, not just a cloud storage solution but a photo catalogue integrated with my camera among other things. Does Proton offer this?

[–] catculation@lemmy.zip 1 points 9 months ago (2 children)

There is a self hosted alternative for google photos if you have NAS. I don't remember the name and it's not nextcloud but that project have web and mobile apps to sync and they catalog photos with face and name similar to google. If you are specifically looking for storing and syncing photos mega.nz is decent but pricey alternatively pClound offers one time purchase during holiday season which is much more affordable.

Immich, is probably what you’re thinking of.

[–] catculation@lemmy.zip 1 points 9 months ago

Yeah, thanks for reminding the name.

[–] kurcatovium@lemm.ee 1 points 9 months ago

PhotoPrism is kind of that thing on self hosted NAS.

Or alternatively both biggest NAS makers Synology and Qnap have their own things for that.

No, Ente has more photo gallery functionality though. Not sure about it being "integrated" with the camera. What do you mean by this?

[–] Szymon@lemmy.ca 3 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

The photos I take on my cellphone are instantly catalogued, scanned for metadata, and synchronized with my gallery. The app then gives me fun photo displays and reminders of my past daily.

I do nothing but take photos and pay a small fee.
