What are you using as a Google photos alternative? Currently I’m using Nextcloud but I’m thinking of switching to a more dedicated solution.

I mainly need to upload photos from my device automatically, have an UI to see and classify them, albuns and sharing.

Proton Drive just recently came out with their photos feature, but it’s still a relatively new product.

Does that include videos?

Yes

I’m trying it out since I just upgraded to proton unlimited.

It’s pretty barebones. It has automatic uploads but only from the camera folder. It does have the ability to share links, but no folder or album support for sharing. No face tagging or object recognition that Google does

You can specify different folders for it to sync from, but yeah it’s pretty bare bones right now.

It’s buried in the settings, but you are right. Thanks for the tip!

If they could just add album sharing and maybe face/object tagging it would be pretty solid imo
