I’ve mostly just relied on Google Photos, and I really like its features. However, I have always been deathly afraid of losing access to my Google photos account and losing all of those, so I need a better way to actually back up my photos. Right now all I do is do a Google Takeout every so often, but that’s inefficient as hell.

How do you do it? How do you backup or sync your photos with a PC/local server?

    Syncthing-fork /sdcard so I don’t need to worry about losing my phone. Saved me when my nexus 5x suddenly boot looped

      +1 for synching-fork. I have mine sync to my server and every week run rclone copy to B2 using the rclone encryption. 3-2-1

        It’s much better. For example, if you say “sync only while charging”, you can open the app while you’re on battery, to check status or settings, instead on main it just kicks you out “you’re not charging”
