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.

Nextcloud. It's definitely overkill for photos alone, but since you are likely to want it for other stuff anyway, why not use its gallery (which is decent) as well?

I personally use it for backup and sharing, and do the bulk of my photos/collections management in digikam (reading from a fast network storage).

    Does Nextcloud handle large numbers of photos nowadays? IIRC when I was comparing programs some years ago I read that both it and Owncloud struggled when you got to a few 10000s of photos.

    I have 3 times that much for just a single user, so I think you should be fine.

    I suppose "a few" is quite open to interpretation, but I have 50k photos now so if it can handle 100k without getting sluggish it'll probably be fine for the foreseeable future.
