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.

    Does Nextcloud handle large numbers of photos nowadays? IIRC when I was comparing programs some years ago I read that both it and Owncloud struggled when you got to a few 10000s of photos.

      I have 3 times that much for just a single user, so I think you should be fine.

        I suppose “a few” is quite open to interpretation, but I have 50k photos now so if it can handle 100k without getting sluggish it’ll probably be fine for the foreseeable future.

          Thanks for the recommendation, I don’t think it would help with my workflow (I do the classifying and curating in Digikam and then export to timestamped folders), but I’m sure many will find it useful :)
