I have resisted for many years to use cloud services to host my pictures, but the friction to use multiple devices and share photos with my wife is only growing, so I am looking for a good alternative. I have about 70GB of pictures from all my life, which I am currently keeping both on a Mac laptop and on an SD card on my Android phone.<p>Ideally, my workflow would be:<p>- take pictures from either my personal of work phone<p>- have them magically backuped on my laptop<p>- possibly, have them synced on my personal phone as well<p>- the work phone can just be a source, if I need to access photos there, I can use a client to look them online<p>My needs are:<p>- basic tagging functionality, possibly automated (dates, places, maybe people) with some sort of search<p>- possiblity to share albums with other people<p>- important: pictures should never live in the cloud only, so some sort of sync at least on the laptop, possibly on Android phones as well<p>- clients for Mac, Android, if possible Linux<p>- the service should have at least some chance of lasting forever - moving all your pictures is a hassle, I would like to have at least some chance to be able to use it 30 years from now<p>I have considered Nextcloud: I already have some hosting on Hetzner, but I couldn't find photo management apps that are usable both in the browser and on phones. Otherwise, there is Google Photos, Amazon Photos... Anything else?
