minus-squarestormio@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·8 months agoI’m not the person you’re replying to, but I’m guessing it’s for Google Photos storage. It’s the reason I pay for Google One.
minus-squarecalmluck9349@infosec.publinkfedilinkarrow-up3·8 months agoProton drive will auto backup photos. Google is the last person I want having all my photos. If its features immich is awesome. Self hosted.
