Aren’t you worried about losing them? I keep my photos backed up to a local storage server and Google drive because I’m terrified about that. I lost my iPhone 5 back when it was new and that maybe is why I’m so nervous about it.

Yes. And I have lost them before, which is why an SD card is a pretty good idea.

But I also do things like take pictures of my tax forms to convert to PDF, as one example. I don’t need that uploading to Uncle Goog’s Spy Cloud.

Me? I also use Syncthing and my phone is part of a personal cloud.

Have you thought about the fact that maybe you can’t think of a usecase because you have already gotten used to not having the luxury of an SD card and owning the things you enjoy?

Nobody owns their smartphone. Just like nobody owns anything else anymore. But personally, my “cloud provider” is a server box in my basement which I do own.

I just don’t see the benefit of using an SD card. But I’ve seen too many of them fail while I was a photographer so maybe I’m just burnt out.

I don’t rely on the SD card on my phone to be the sole source of my data, it is a common pool so that I don’t have to walk around firehosing cellular data back and forth for no reason.

Syncthing works best when one device is always on or nearly always on the internet, so my phone is the perfect bounce port to keep a bigger network of syncthing devices working together on (note Syncthing will sync over a local network if possible, which is most of the time with my devices).

If the SD card fails shrugs I get another one?

I mean… that is the route that cameras take right? You just use two SD cards. I do the same thing but with a paired raspberrry pi and another SD card that is connected with Syncthing.
