I tried this privacy-focused Google Photos alternative, and I think you should too

Although I host virtually all of my media on my home NAS, I’m still a pretty big fan of Google Photos. With its powerful organization features and cutting-edge editing tools packed into my pocket, it’s a tough option to beat for both convenience and features.

Still, if you’re eager to remove Big G’s prying eye from your life or simply want to follow the 3-2-1 rule of good backups, there are a growing number of Google Photos alternatives on the market. Ente is a privacy-focused service that looks like an almost like-for-like replacement to Photos, so I gave it a shot.
