I just use Google Photos.
Google 1. I should really do a manual back up as well but I get lazy.
I have a two-pronged approach. I use Google photos as is with their normal compression for searchability and casual browsing of photos, but I also have Nextcloud running on my own server where my photos are all backed up in full quality. Both uploads happen automatically so I don't have to think about it
Personally, I prefer using a cable to transfer photos and videos from my device to my PC. Once they are on my computer, I make sure to back them up onto external hard drives.
Look into getting a USB-C flash drive and transfer the photos to that. You can find a 128gb drive for $15.
I recently set up an immich server.
immich is really promising. Works well for the basic stuff (and quickly adding features) but it's still early days.
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.
I use syncthing. Once setup its really nice.
Same here, syncthing is fantastic and I use it for all kinds of stuff - including backing up phone media.
