Google photos on ios is literally a hostage situation. Remove key functionalities like copying an image or editing an image unless you give them full unrestricted access to your entire photo library. (The holy grail of surveillance capitalism data). Data extortion masquerading as a service.
Out of curiosity - are there any companies offering to host Immich for you and provide backups and stuff?
I’m tempted to self host it for my family, but my biggest concern is losing data that I self host (and time spent managing this).
In your situation, Ente would be better. Handling a VPS for Immich is asking for a headache.
Ente supports a family plan, handles hosting and backup for you, supports all your usual media files and imports them cleanly from Google Photos. But it's private, encrypted, and you can take out your data at any time with a single click.
Who do you think you are ? You're just extension of their machine. It's their photos.
Don't use Google.
if you’re not paying for a product, then YOU are the product being monetized.
So happy I went the NAS route for photos solution... sure it costs more and takes some knowledge of how to do it, but it's not its only purpose either.
