So I'm looking to disconnect myself from Google and their tracking (as much as possible) and I was thinking about installing GrapheneOS on my Pixel phone. I mostly use my phone for Lemmy, Signal, NewPipe and taking photos. The last one is my biggest bother at the moment. The Google Photos environment is so convenient - I take a photo, it uploads it to my Google Photos collection, and after a while, it deletes it from my phone to clear space, keeping only the cloud backup. Is there a functionality like this disconnected from Google that I would be able to implement on my GrapheneOS phone? I'm looking to invest in the Proton environment (mainly Mail and Drive) so I could use that for storage. Cheers

I've been using Immich. Very useful and easy for non techies to use. I know it says beta software, and it is; but it is more reliable than Lemmy...

Are you using it with multiple users/devices syncing? I'm looking to get out of Photoprism, and Immich caught my eye a little while back.

Nextcloud is good. I actually have an instance on my server if you need one. A+ rating on server security test lol

Immich! I've been using it for a while and it's amazing

Nextcloud, as mentioned, is a great option but does require a bit of work, albeit not much. I would recommend a Synology server. They're fantastically simple and this was my approach after trying Nextcloud. I did this to divorce myself from Google. Synology has many mirrored services
