Yes! Immich is incredible. It's a self hosted Google images for anyone that doesn't know, and it's really close to being an exact replica.
I absolutely love it. https://immich.app/
immich is really promising. Works well for the basic stuff (and quickly adding features) but it's still early days.
I just use Google Photos.
Google 1. I should really do a manual back up as well but I get lazy.
Plug in to lappy, run shell script that crawls DCIM for dngs, jpgs, mp4s etc and sticks em in folders named by date
I use syncthing to sync my camera folder on my pixel 6a phone with a folder on my NAS.
Then I have an old moto x with pixel experience rom (the rom has unlimited Google photos backup) and syncthing. This phone turns on once a day at night with a smartplug - the folder on my NAS syncs with a folder on phone. The phone backs up the photos to Google photos at full quality.
I'm still mad that Google took away the photo backup for pixel phones. But this seems to work for now
I use syncthing. Once setup its really nice.
Syncthing, super easy to set up and use on android and linux. It works with everything, not just photos.
To access files stored on my home server from my phone, I use Material Files with sftp set up
Syncthing is awesome. I'm never losing data to a damaged or stolen device again, and it makes accessing data from a computer and sending data to the phone so much easier.
But we have to keep in mind that syncthing doesn't protect by default us from accidental deletion, so it's not a 100% replacement for a backup.
Quote Syncthing! I've also a Nextcloud instance shared with my girlfriend in order to share selected photos.
Look into getting a USB-C flash drive and transfer the photos to that. You can find a 128gb drive for $15.
I have two backups systems. One uses rclone the other is a python script using ADB.
Syncthing-fork /sdcard so I don't need to worry about losing my phone. Saved me when my nexus 5x suddenly boot looped
