So Twetch... tell me... what's the best alternative to Google Photos out there right now?

what features do you need? Could you setup syncthing on your mobile and computer? one way sync: mobile -> computer occasionally to free storage space on mobile.

do they need to be encrypted?

Sharing with other family members into a single repository. Sync would work but would have to be selective and not too cumbersome. Mass upload capability is a need. Encryption is a nice-to-have. Just trying to get away from the Alphabet Inc. panopticon.

Could this work? https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/monument-2-smart-photo-storage-and-organization#/

You could setup syncthing by directories
-Folder_freexjc
-Folder_family
Maybe one syncs to the other? Or a
-Master_folder that both sync to

Good call on Google. Are you trying to get Google off mobile too?

Twetch ·

Yes. I wiped a Moto phone and installed LineageOS. Liking it so far.

I’ll look at syncthing. Could be a good option, for redundancy if nothing else. Thanks, man.

Twetch ·

That looks like a brilliant solution, bro. Thanks for sharing! I’m definitely going to consider this.

Twetch ·

No probs! I’m looking at it, too.

very nice, lineage is great. If you have GAPPS installed and looking for other goog alternatives - I like Osmand for active navigation

I assume youre already using aurora store and f-droid which are great.

Twetch ·

yeah, been using f-droid and getting APKs directly from app devs…just downloaded aurora store and dig it so far, so thanks for that reco!
