Self-hosted alternatives to Google Photos
Fill a phone with photos and the 15 GB shared with Gmail and Drive runs out, which is where the search for a Google Photos alternative starts. A photo library on your own server takes the same backups from the phone and keeps the pictures on disks you own. The apps below are the self-hosted photo libraries from this directory.
- Pricing
- 15 GB free, paid Google One plans
