My wife is using Google Photos, and I've been using Photoprism for a few months. I just had a baby, and I access to download the pictures that my wife takes. I'm not too sure of what I want. I guess I want two separate libraries, but I want to be able to view her pictures easily and add them into my library. I believe if I spin up a second photoprism instance, I'd have to download her pictures individually and reupload them into my instance.

What do any of you do? Do you even host photo storage for your family?

Photoprism offers multi user for sponsors

Yes but it costs almost like 2TB of Google photos + you need to take care of backups, updates, maintenance...

The main advantage is that it isn't Google, but the price point imho it's too high for something that I need to manage for family use

Does it work well? I haven't checked in a minute, but does I believe they used to recommend two separate installs for multi library

Haven't tried yet. I'm evaluating atm if I need it or not.

Multi user but without unique libraries for each user. Just one big photo library for every user.
