I haven’t used it much if at all in the past year, but I finally took the last step and deleted it! Sorry if this is low effort I just don’t have anyone I know to share it with.
Is there a viable Photos alternative? I was thinking of setting up a NAS on my RPi but it would need to be for other family members too.
Ente it you’re looking for a paid service. (For me, photos are too important to self-host.) They’re end-to-end encrypted and both server and clients are open source.
too important to self-host
For me it’s the other way round. My photos are too important to trust any corporation - no matter how trustworthy they say they are.
Do you do any hosting on the cloud? Thinking of cases like a fire or flood or something
The Proton Drive app can automatically sync pictures from your phone. The Proton ecosystem as a whole is a good alternative to Google’s.
I am still uploading to Google Photos currently, but have setup a backup of my photos once a week using SMBSync2 on Android, to my Raspberry Pi NAS. I have two external hard drives connected to my pc, so when I login to my pc there are two automated backups that happen to copy anything newly added to the nas to the two hard drives.

https://stingle.org, https://piwigo.org, and https://immich.app might be worth a look.
I used NextCloud, myself.
