Yes! Immich is incredible. It's a self hosted Google images for anyone that doesn't know, and it's really close to being an exact replica.
I absolutely love it. https://immich.app/
Syncthing, super easy to set up and use on android and linux. It works with everything, not just photos.
To access files stored on my home server from my phone, I use Material Files with sftp set up
Syncthing is awesome. I'm never losing data to a damaged or stolen device again, and it makes accessing data from a computer and sending data to the phone so much easier.
But we have to keep in mind that syncthing doesn't protect by default us from accidental deletion, so it's not a 100% replacement for a backup.
Quote Syncthing! I've also a Nextcloud instance shared with my girlfriend in order to share selected photos.
I just use Google Photos.
I use syncthing. Once setup its really nice.
immich is really promising. Works well for the basic stuff (and quickly adding features) but it's still early days.
Google 1. I should really do a manual back up as well but I get lazy.
Syncthing-fork /sdcard so I don't need to worry about losing my phone. Saved me when my nexus 5x suddenly boot looped
