Has anyone found a way to replace Apple Photos on grapheneos? It’s the only feature holding me back now.
Google Photos seems to be the only app with cloud storage that syncs but you can only access in a browser on Desktop which is no good for me. I also want to have my full photo collection stored and synced on my computer like I do with Apple. Also Google Photos without an account linked is fairly useless as you cannot create albums and many features are missing.
I have tried most apps and currently use Aves and have cloud service like Mega and pCloud as a backup but it is not working well.
I also find managing and editing photos difficult. It may be more the way Android works. For example on Apple I can favorite some photos and move to an album. In Aves or other apps on Android if you move to an album it actually moves the photos to a different folder on your phone which I do not want. To stop this you need to make copies making my photo collection messy. Also when you edit photos in Google Photos you can not save over the same photo, you have to save as a copy. On Apple you can edit a photo and save over the original image. If you want to go back you can edit and revert to the original image. This does not seem possible on Android. Also importing to Android from cloud services removes all the photo tags like capture date, location etc.
I have a Synology NAS and use Synology Photos and PhotoPrism but they are slow when outside the network and do not have a dedicated Desktop app.
The closet I have found is Mylio but the Android app is full of bugs and not compatible with Apple Live Photos.
I tried other suggestions in here like Ente but it is not suitable and too expensive.
Has anyone found any decent software or cloud that can manage photos like Apple? When you have copies on your phone, cloud and desktop?
