Proton's mission, funding sources, independence, and community are some of the reasons we're more resilient than other privacy-first companies.

I hope they might consider a Proton Photos, since Google Photos really holds me to Google Drive. And Proton AI for working with documents on Proton Drive.

Can I interest you in a great self-hosted alternative Immich? Been using it for nearly a year now, amd its getting better every few months.

[–] Zerfallen@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I'm sure it can work well for many others, so thanks for the recommendation, but personally I'm not interested in self hosting.

Thank you for this, been looking...

Proton Drive can already automatically back up your phones photos. What else do you want? Albums?

[–] PlexSheep@feddit.de 3 points 1 year ago

Yeah, that works fine.

All the things that make Google Photos a separate product to Google Drive... that's what I'm talking about.

[–] akilou@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

OK, we'll they're not going to have that. They're just not going to implement facial recognition or search images by text or map the photos baed on the geolocation metadata. They're just fundamentally anti privacy features. I doubt they'd even implement photo editing and callages or whatever

Have a look at photoprism. It's self hosted.
