   The most secure Photos app

   I have always been worried abou the fact that my photos were not stored on the cloud privately. Meaning anyone with the access to the server could see my photos. I am glad that I found ente. It's end to end encrypted

   🏁 Competitors: Google Photos, Photos on macOS, Amazon Photos, Cryptee

   👍 Pros:    End to end encrypted|Open-source|Feature rich

   👎 Cons:    Less storage

• Immich v3.0.0 Released

  You can use https://ente.com/ (it's open-source). It also makes the seemingly much better decision of storing photos in S3. - Source: Hacker News / 2 days ago

  Perhaps try https://ente.com/, as they offer a paid plan. - Source: Hacker News / 17 days ago

  > None of the self hosted apps are designed with e2e encryption in mind https://ente.com is open source, and self hosted, and end to end encrypted. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• Android users can now use conversational editing in Google Photos

  ^ is what I used to import ~300gb of photos from Google Photos to Immich. Not sure how well it works for iCloud. There is also https://ente.io/ which is a private & secure photo backup app that you don't need to self-host. - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago

• Apple Photos App Corrupts Images
