I found that SyncThing is not a great solution for the "mobile photo reel" use case. I want my entire photo collection to be easily searchable & accessible from my mobile device, but I don't need a complete copy of my photo reel to be saved to my device. I want to be able to delete things from my phone to free up space, but I want them to still exist in my photo collection that is backed up to the cloud.

this resonates with me.

what solution are you using?

I use nextcloud, and it is OK.

I have the same need... I use Nextcloud for many things (including photo upload) but I can't stand their photos app. I use photoprism for the photos app and I love it.

Maybe you'd like the third-party Memories add-on?

By the way, how do you share files between Nextcloud and Photoprism? It's my biggest problem with NC, it's hard to share files with other apps.

I just have the same directory mounted to both my Nextcloud & Photoprism containers. They both operate with a normal directory of files on the file system, so I just have them both use the same directory to store data.

For me I am using PhotoPrism + PhotoSync - it's an absolutely great combo.

I am using Nextcloud for sync in conjunction with PhotoPrism.

I use Les Pas with NextCloud. It is quite a good, usable combination.
