I’m looking to move away from Google Photos, and I already use Backblaze B2 to sync my Joplin notes. Is there a piece of software that can store my photos on S3, while also providing a gallery view (á la Apple/Google Photos)?

I will be using this on iOS, Linux, and possibly a deGoogled Android ROM (in the future). Multiple different apps are fine, as long as they can work together.

In terms of features, I don’t really care whether it’s minimalist or if it has all the bells and whistles. As long as it does its job.

I have already looked into Nextcloud and Piwigo, but it’s not financially sustainable for me to self-host at the minute. I also don’t want to pay for Cryptomator if there’s a free alternative.

Thanks!

    Edit

    Sorry I missed the part about you not wanting to self-host, the suggestions below are probably not helpful then.

    I don’t know anything that comes free but is also not self-hosted. :(

    Original Post

    I was using librephotos for a while and I thought that was compatible with S3, but according to their photo app comparison guide it’s “unknown”. That comparison is a good guide to get ideas about other apps to check out though.

    Another one I was using was the nextcloud addon Memories which just uses any storage you have in Nextcloud, which I think can use S3, but as I haven’t used it myself I’m not really sure.
