I have 5 family members using Synology Photos (on a 4-bay Synology NAS) and it’s a great solution for us.

I don’t see myself going back to a cloud-based solution - this one is easy for me and secure.

I’ve got SHR running on my storage, and daily offsite backup to another family member’s house (protects against house fire etc for loss of 20yr+ of photos and videos).

Once you offload from your phone, you can pare down the photos remaining on the phone to whatever you want to be left.

This is a two-for one. You asked for it :)

I saved $50 and bought DS420+ instead of DS920+

Don’t do this

I’d kill to have the quad core at this point, it’s CPU limited with all my Docker apps
