How do you actually back up and save your photos and media off of your Android phone? (self.android)

I've mostly just relied on Google Photos, and I really like its features. However, I have always been deathly afraid of losing access to my Google photos account and losing all of those, so I need a better way to actually back up my photos. Right now all I do is do a Google Takeout every so often, but that's inefficient as hell.

How do you do it? How do you backup or sync your photos with a PC/local server?

Syncthing, super easy to set up and use on android and linux. It works with everything, not just photos.

To access files stored on my home server from my phone, I use Material Files with sftp set up

Just gonna chime in and agree with this guy. Syncthing is great! I use it with Android and Windows for my photos and password manager.
