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.

What happens when your Synology fails?

I can't speak for other users, but my Synology setup looks like this:

  • NAS - 1 drive redundancy via hybrid RAID.
  • Important folders have recycling bins enabled and I have versioning, too.
  • Daily backup to a local external drive.
  • Daily, encrypted backup to the cloud.
  • Monthly, off-site HDD backup.

This is honestly a much more secure way of storing my photos than Google Photos.
