Looking for an alternative to synology photos. I moved over to synology about 3 years ago and am now considering moving out of the synology ecosystem. I'm looking for something that has a decent android app, wifi syncing, shareable albums, all the standard stuff.

Edit: thanks for the many replies, I'll likely move to nextcloud as I was planning on deploying that anyway as a synology drive replacement. I'll look into immich as well.

Do you feel immich is mature enough to be a primary photos app? I may go the route of nextcloud as I'm planning to migrate to nextcloud from synology drive. Didn't realize they had a photos backup app ad well.

From immich.app:

The project is under very active development. Expect bugs and changes. Do not use it as the only way to store your photos and videos!

Yeah that was my point. That's why NC is my main and Immich is my secondary.

Oh, I misunderstood. I just set up immich and have my backups, so I won't have to worry how mature immich is. The design is really great!
