I’m starting my degoogling journey (mostly looking into the various options at hand) and I was wondering what hood alternatives to Goohle Photos is there? I’m specifically wondering about a service that would double both as a cloud storage and a gallery with a timeline and such. But currently it’s only cloud storage backup (or Instagtam-likes, which is bot something I want) as far as I can tell?
For the cloud storage part I can tell that Nextcloud serves the purpose fine.
I have configured our Android devices with Nextcloud app to upload new images directly into the
my-nextcloud-user/files/SofortUpload
folder. It has a structure/SofortUpload/ImageFolder/year/months/images
, so for example/SofortUpload/Camera/2023/08/IMG_20230803_174100.jpg
(“Sofort” is German for “immediate”)
This auto-upload has been configured and happens (in our cases) also for the mobile device folders

,Screenshots
,Stickers
,Telegram
andWallpaper
.For the timeline and viewing part I would also take suggestions, as having not yet found a good solution.
