Hello everyone,

Since my daughter was born I am searching for a solution to share pictures of our child with my wife and create a copy of each smartphones photos and other files (documents). At first I tried nextcloud, but there is a lot of overhead and the administration feels kind of complex for what I need.

Anyone else having some input on which software to use?

So my main goal is:

Software running on raspberry pi (preferable docker). Has abilities like shared folder where pictures and documents get uploaded from multiple users and can be viewed (collaboration editing is not needed). Automatically copy files from smartphone (android) to raspberry from selected folder for a simple redundancy.

      I use syncthing for backups including some phone files, but I’m not sure this would be good.

      Syncthing devs clearly don’t want this app used as a sync-and-archive tool so all phones would have all copies and any phone can permanently delete any file. I wouldn’t trust that.

      (Yes, there is a roundabout way, I do it too, but it is prone to errors and sync issues)

      I second immich and backup. immich can archive as you want, and Syncthing can make backups of files.
