Building a private internet together: Tuta & Ente partnership (tuta.com)

Starting today, all paying Tuta users can request 25% off their first year of Ente’s encrypted photo storage so you can not only keep your emails and calendars private, but also your photos.

Ente provides end-to-end encrypted photo storage, ensuring that only you hold the keys to your data. Ente doesn’t mine your data and doesn’t show you ads.

We at Tuta are thrilled to have teamed up with Ente to build privacy-first tools that are both secure and beautifully easy to use. Whether you’re backing up precious personal pictures or need to sync images from one device to another, Ente makes sure your content stays yours - and only yours.

I don't understand the point of things like ente and Google photos over general cloud storage

Idk about ente, but stuff like Google Photos and Immich have photo-specific features, like allowing you to search photos for specific people, semantic keywords, places, etc. Immich and Google Photos use "AI" to create embeddings of the photos (and read EXIF metadata) to allow this. In the case of Google Photos, it's a privacy nightmare.

Ente does this as well and it's a privacy focused alternative to go photos if you don't want to self host immich. Ente is also self hostable I think.

I'll have to admit, back in the day Google's Picassa was the shit.
