Have used it but this sounds a lot like kicking the can down the road. Don’t be surprised if/when Amazon does the same thing and/or just lets photos Languish.

I encourage a self-hosted solution with backups. There are many, some super easy for non-tech folk to use (synology for example)
- JorgeGT 6y agoI am indeed self-hosting, but just a Raspberry Pi+HD. The Google/Amazon Photos is the backup/convenience. Since I want off-site backups in case something happens in my apartment, when/if Amazon goes this road I'll probably rent some general purpose storage in the cloud.
- loughnane 6y agoCheck out backblaze. Crazy cheap for backups (0.005/GB/month or so IIRC) and you can easily encrypt before doing so to maintain privacy.
