photo-stream VS photoview

First thing I thought of are applications like Photostream. But I thought maybe someone knows of an even better application for my usecase, or has their own experienced to share. (Photostream doesnt support videos though for example).

Currently using photo stream

While photo-stream does not officially support subfolders it could probably achieved with some manual work or a custom script. There has been a short discussion about it here.

Not 100% sure but I think PhotoStream can do what you want. You could mount the shared folder and ever time a new photo will be dropped it should update the static page which also allows downloading a photo if you set the config for that. Depending on your setup you might have to automate syncing if you need that.

If you just want to showcase your photos on a static page have a look at Photo Stream.

For something simple you could check out photo-stream. I think it's good for an online portfolio of your work.

Most lightweight one I've found so far: https://photoview.github.io/

I looked at a bunch of these 2 years ago and ended up using PhotoView for a private gallery. It had the right mix of simplicity and features, and I was actually able to get it running.

Take a look at Photoview: https://photoview.github.io/ . I think that it will fit all your needs (or at least, most all of them)

I use Photoview with Nextcloud, because I like its UI more than Nextcloud.

I can suggest 3 options. * Photoview - It is like a gallery with recursive folder structure (folders inside folders) support. You can create shareable links for the folders, with password protection. The UI is great. And your clients will be able to download the complete folder, also individual images at either full resolution or reduced. The issue is you cannot use the UI to add or delete photos, but it can be a great thing for security and stability. * Chevereto - It is more like imgur. You upload all the files using the UI and create albums and their sharable links. I do not think if it supports videos at all. * Nextcloud - Another great option if you want to give your clients a Google Drive or a Dropbox like experience. You can create custom links, like example .com/client-name, which can look more professional. For better videos experience you'll need hardware acceleration.

I have tried A LOT of solutions and I finally stopped after using Nextcloud and Photoview. I synchronise files from my computer to Nextcloud using rclone and view them on Photoview whenever I need. You can sync to you nextcloud using their official app on phone. I use Photoview because I have not found a single self-hosted solution that keeps the folder structure and lets me view them as both, in folder structures as well as in a chronological timeline.

Bl4ckB1s3ct0r gave the right answer - Photoprism and Immich can be considered as open-source alternatives of Google Photos. Another one is Photoview.
