I've spent a good majority of the day moving 750GB of files out of my Google Drive over to my @protonprivacy drive.

I've quit using Google Chrome(long long time ago).
I've quit using Gmail.
I've quit using Google Drive.
I've quit using Google Keep.

The one thing that is just too damn good to quit using that Google makes is Google Photos.

While there are replacements, there's nothing that comes even remotely close to being as good as Google Photos in my opinion. Literally NOTHING!

@cliffwade @protonprivacy what about @ente photo storage

@stu As I stated in a previous response, it doesn't do anywhere near the things that Google Photos does and neither does anything else out there.

I'd want something that does everything Google Photos does, not just photo storage.

@cliffwade @stu @protonprivacy hey, which feature within Google Photos do you miss the most in Ente?

@cliffwade @stu @protonprivacy @ente What so particularly "cool" google photos does, or offer that makes it special or worth giving them your private, personal data? 🤔🙄
I am asking seriously. Name few such functionalities, please.

@MartinaNeumayer This isn't about private/personal data, because every company takes that to some degree. The difference is what they do with it. If you're on the internet, people somewhere, companies somewhere, have your personal/private data to some degree and you can't deny that.

Auto sync from phone to Google Photos, facial recognition, making of memories, collages and special photos, ease of searching for most anything, great web UI.

@cliffwade @MartinaNeumayer @stu @protonprivacy Thanks for the feedback, this is very helpful! We're working on face recognition and making it easy to search and discover old memories. Beta will be out this month :)

@ente Oh, that is awesome to hear! Thank you for taking the time to respond. I'd certainly be curious to test it again if/when it had these things.

Don't get me wrong, what little I did play with it a couple of months ago, y'all have a really nice app. Very polished and certainly has great potential.
