gphotos-sync VS photos-app

Sadly, it’s not configurable. It’s just an inherent limitation of the API (1). Takeout is the best alternative, but for something more realtime you can use tools (2) that wrap the browser UI which also exports full quality.

What I did was a very painful process of using Google Takeout and gphotos-sync ( https://github.com/gilesknap/gphotos-sync ), manually merging what I knew was missing, and using file counts by month/year to track other missing objects. gphotos-sync is limited by the same API issues as rclone, which is another perfectly fine utility to use, besides the API limitations. On a side note, I use rclone to backup everything to "storj" every night ( delta sync ).

Of course you can do the same perodically or use https://github.com/gilesknap/gphotos-sync

I haven't tried immich yet, but I am using https://github.com/gilesknap/gphotos-sync with great success. I wonder how hard it would be to set up a workflow to get the synced photos into immich.

https://developers.google.com/photos/library/reference/rest/v1/mediaItems/list or https://github.com/gilesknap/gphotos-sync

I pull mine from Google Photos, with a docker image running a tool: https://github.com/gilesknap/gphotos-sync

Its not perfect, but as a backup, it works well.

ente - encrypted photo storage (version 0.7.92): ente is an end-to-end encrypted photo storage app

The format isn't natively supported on mobile, but we can transcode and render them. We have created an issue to track this: github.com/ente-io/photos-app/issues/1269

Hey, we've added an item to our roadmap to configure a lockscreen different from the system lockscreen: github.com/ente-io/photos-app/issues/1240

Hey, this is already on our radar: github.com/ente-io/photos-app/issues/1226

Hey, not sure how popular this feature will be, since all your metadata is end-to-end encrypted and only accessible to you, but have added this to our roadmap anyway: github.com/ente-io/photos-app/issues/1219

We don't automatically sync media movement from the device to ente, as users might have already organized their media on ente, possibly on a different device. However, we understand that this could be a valuable feature, perhaps as an album-level configuration. We've added this to our roadmap.

Hey, we recently added support to playback Motion Photos to our Flutter app.

We also wrote a guide to set it up. Our code is open source, so you can easily refer to the crowdin config and GitHub action config.
