- yrcyrc 9mo agoFor pictures you can use https://immich.app/ https://immich.app/
- idorosen 9mo agohttps://github.com/libimobiledevice/ifuse https://github.com/libimobiledevice/ifuse might help.
- nntwozz 9mo agoYou can do manual backups in macOS using Finder, or iTunes on Windows.
- Tepix 9mo agoThere's also a Program called "Apple devices" I believe from Apple for Windows that will let you backup your iPhone/iPad. If you configure a password for your backup it will backup more (confidential) data than if you don't encrypt your local backup.
- dwayne_dibley 9mo agoImmich is probably the best option
- mfkp 9mo agoOr ente photos: https://ente.io/ https://ente.io/
- netsharc 9mo agoI'm sure grandparent meant to modify it so they'd just have to click "Backup to cloud" on their iPhone and instead of the iPhone sending their files to Apple's servers, it sends them to a local backup server...
- cortesoft 9mo agoImmich can get pretty close to that experience, with the iPhone app and a local immich instance.
- ValentineC 9mo agoA lot of iPhone apps can backup the iOS photo library these days, including the abovementioned Immich, Google Photos, and Dropbox.
- vachina 9mo agoAll the comment here fail to address the “view” part of iCloud. I wrote a webapp to try to solve that for myself (https://github.com/yhling/go-web-image-gallery https://github.com/yhling/go-web-image-gallery)
