When I come home and my phone connects to the wifi that my Linux (Gnome) PC is also connected to, I would like all my new photos to be automatically sent from my phone to my PC.
I would like this to happen without:
- sending the photos via any third party on the internet
- using any proprietary apps
- having to set up Syncthing or anything similarly difficult
Is this even possible? If not, what's the second best alternative?
Thank you!
@forteller The simplest option is a sync app connected via SFTP or SMB, a quick search in F-Droid shows 'Round Sync' as a potential option. Nothing to install on your PC this way.
The other option is Immich, it's more of a full photo management server you would install on your PC or a local always-on server, but the mobile app has auto-backup that works really well, and it gives you more functions like albums, face recognition, search, etc..
I do not recommend Syncthing as it cannot easily do one-way sync while also not syncing deletions, which is typically how people want photo sync/backup to function. And the mobile app doesn't often work well and can cause high battery drain in my experience.
