    This is downright funny. Best way to lose your market share, simply put. I’ve used Googles family of products for around 13 years.

    First they ruin Photos, then Google Workspace (12€/month drive price to almost 100€), and now the browser.

    Soon it’s back to gmail and everything else non-google. And I suppose that’s a good thing.

      Do you have any recommendations for Google Photos? I would love to get off but it’s way too conviennent for myself and family.

        I just installed immich today, but you need a server to selfhost it.

        Seems really good though.

        One bad to another, there’s Amazon prime photos which offers unlimited photos. Gives you 5GB of video storage which is practically useless.

        As for the backup portion, mega has offered free 50GB for ages. And you can setup shared folders. I just use that for now. As for other data, I think I’ll just buy a NAS and self-host.

        It’s a bit of a shift, there’s no real good alternative, so Google’s long hook and bait is turning into even worse money pump.
