I've been looking for an alternative to Google Photos. My question is, because I've created a free account. How good is ente.io?

Sorry I can't help, but just letting you (and anyone else looking) that immich.app is the best alternative.

[–] somedude@lemmy.ninja 1 points 1 year ago

omg this is exactly what I've been looking for. self hosted photo sharing with collaborative albums!

Same as photo prism , don't know how to create my own server

[–] JshKlsn@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Immich is leagues ahead of Photo Prism, but Photo Prism is definitely an alternative.

Setting up a server isn't difficult if you can follow a YouTube video. Are you looking to host it yourself at home? or through a hosted service?

Either way, you could find a YouTube video that is easy to follow along for setting this up with Docker if you're at all curious. If not, hopefully someone can answer your original question!

I've been using it for a couple of weeks now. The migration from G-photos was flawless, and I'm very happy with how polished the service is.

Definetly recommend for someone not looking to selfhost.

Oh and, they give you an extra 10GB for each person refer/if you get refered by someone. So you could have 20GB for just 10$ a year, which is fair enough I think.

I tested it some time on iOS and it was definitely the closest to google photos I found. The pricing wasn’t appealing to me but I feel like it’s a good service.

[–] Tucumano88@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Indeed. Very expensive

There's also Piwigo which can be self-hosted or cloud hosted.

Ente Photos user here. As happy as I could be. A bit pricey just for photo storage, but works flawlessly.

Check Stingle Photos too. It's a bit cheaper, but also is E2EE.

It's expensive, more for me in Argentina. But I'm thinking to pay yearly

[–] landordragen@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Have you tried Filen or MEGA? Filen gives up to 40 GB for free and MEGA starts at 25 GB for free. Both E2EE and have automatic photo upload.

Thanks! I'll look
