I need to put some order with the photos I take and I receive with my android phone. Just now I use Nextcloud sync client to upload and Photo/Memories Nextcloud Apps to manage photos.

However, I am not very happy with this setup because of the lack of one Android Application for photos and, thus, the photo gallery of my phone is totally different to the Photo/Memories timeline. And photos are not deleted from my mobile phone when I delete them in Photo/Memories. Which selfhosted photo manager do you think is better to backup and manage photos in sync with the phone?

A second question, is it better to manage the photo gallery with a folder structure or with the album functionality of the Photo application? Which is the best interoperable solution? If I use albums in Memories then I can export those albums to Immich, Librephotos… ? Or I would have to create all the albums again after the export?

    to be fair, all cloud services scan. It’s unfortunately necessary to detect CSAM to stop people from spreading it.

      I really doubt this. If I lose the private key of this one service I use, my information is lost and unrecoverable - unless they put a backdoor in it.

      But if it is true, I’d be okay with this - provided that it is only use to detect abuse images and nothing else.
