      I use Nextcloud as well, and have the same folder mounted in Photoprism so I can get a better gallery view and indexing of my pictures. It does face and object detection and stuff locally.

    ENTE!! Everything you store is e2e encrypted, their software is foss and you can share files easily, they even have a mid free plan. I’ve been using them for some time and they offer a great service.

    It’s https://www.ente.io

    My referal code is SVZWEU, you can use it if you want to get an extra 10 gb for the both of us, free of charge, when signing up to a paid plan.

    You don’t have to use it, but thx if you do!

    iCloud since I’ve been all in on the Apple ecosystem since … 2004ish (Tiger was a great OS).

    Pros:

    • Super fast
    • Doesn’t need to backup system files
    • No limit to # of devices, only storage size
    • Reliable
    • Restore process is arguably the easiest out of any solution
    • Priced fairly (despite people complaining, yeah their free tier is useless)

    Cons:

    • Only backs up Apple devices.
    • Relies on connection speed alone, no shipped hard drive option

    If I had to pick a platform agnostic one it’d be Backblaze.

    Pros:

    • Solid
    • Light on resources
    • Fairly priced (last I checked) and unlimited is reasonable
    • Can do shipped hard drive restores if needed.

    Cons:

    • Limited backup controls
    • Must provide key to decrypt on restore
    • Restore process sucks

      I’ve been playing with idrive, and it looked pretty solid, and have great prices, but… They don’t have a drive client (only backup) for Linux and they state they WONT have one, meaning that to get that functionality I would have to spend time configuring rclone. Having to jump through hoops to use a paid service is a no-go in my book.

        I am using it with MacOS. I actually don’t use the drive system. I just use it to backup data because Apple’s iCloud Drive serves all my needs.

        I can say that the few times I have had to restore data it was fast and reliable

    I don’t really differentiate photos from other types of files.

    I use restic to back up to Wasabi.

    Edit: I’m actually considering changing this setup.

    I’m thinking of using Wasabi as backend storage to hold my encrypted files using rclone compatible encryption. Use rclone on your desktop and then something like S3 Drive on mobile which can access rclone encrypted files.

    S3 Drive has a nice photo auto-upload feature. I’ve only played with it on iOS which, as I understand it, is quite a bit less feature-full as compared to the Android version. Stuff like this might actually have me switching back to Android, TBH.
