Looking for an alternative to synology photos. I moved over to synology about 3 years ago and am now considering moving out of the synology ecosystem. I’m looking for something that has a decent android app, wifi syncing, shareable albums, all the standard stuff.

Edit: thanks for the many replies, I’ll likely move to nextcloud as I was planning on deploying that anyway as a synology drive replacement. I’ll look into immich as well.

    Hey random user, I setup synchthing and have it uploaded from a pixel 5(last phone with unlimited storage).

    *New phone synchs to p5 bi-directionally I clear the storage on the p5 and now it’s stopped removing the photos from my new phone. I would expect it to delete the cloud backed-up photos from my p5 then deleted from the bi-directionally synched folder on P8. Am I missing something? Why would it have worked at first then stopped?

    Also any idea on the folder structure for backing up either storage/emulated/0/dcim/camera or storage/emulated/0/dcim/camera/camera? it seems to work when I synch just the /camera folder, but then if I download a picture from a messageing app or something and save it in the folder it will synch it but then not recognize it’s backed up on p5 and won’t delete it when I go to “clear storage space” on photos on new phone.
