I asked myself the same. My conclusion was "don't use Google Photos".
I know it's probably the best service out there and it's hard to replace. But it's not worth the risk.
You say you can't replace it. Why is that? Maybe there are some alternatives that you don't know about?
- 0goel0 6y agoWhat other service do you use? I use it mainly because I have a Pixel and the integration is great. I love at AI search/tagging.
- duiker101 6y agoI use a bit more a homegrown system with Resilio. It's great and costs very little. You can find a guide here https://www.danielandrade.net/2017/07/22/roll-your-own-secure-dropbox-alternative/ https://www.danielandrade.net/2017/07/22/roll-your-own-secur... It take a bit to setup and get used to it but I really like it. To organize the photos you can use whatever you want on Desktop (I use Digikam) and on the phone I use F-Stop Gallery. I know the integration might not be as smooth as Google Photos, but I feel comfortable with it and it's pretty fool-proof while giving me a lot of flexibility. If I want to migrate to something else I literally just need to copy-paste my files. The biggest challenge was actually re-organising the files after using Google's takeout functionality. They come out a hot mess.
