> Ente Photos is extremely polished and it's comparable quality to Apple photos.
If only. It can’t even upload photos any reliably (I self-host). I had it simply fail to upload anything for days (it doesn’t provide any diagnostics, gotta figure out how to build and debug it myself), with no apparent reason. That’s despite keeping app in the foreground, on a charger, for hours, with video uploads and ML features all disabled so it was supposed to focus on just the photos. Server side is fine, web-based uploads work without any issues, app just doesn’t. I haven’t figured it out yet.
Well I'm a complete newb, self-hosted it completely by just following instructions from GLM 4.7 (didn't log in) and it works reliably.
Did you try it with the free 10GB on their hosted servers?
I'm using Android so maybe it's different on iOS.
