There are solutions like ente and immich but I think they both are pretty overkill for my use case. I almost never look through my old photos so I don’t need an app and a web UI or whatever. The face detection thing does not entice me either. I don’t need encryption either.

Is there a simpler solution for this? I am thinking of just writing a script that syncs the camera folder using adb or something like that. But before I create a jank monstrosity I thought it would be better to ask around.

    WOW man this is just incredible. I had actually finished setting up syncthing and syncing with it but this is just so much smoother. Syncthing is nice but it has some weirdness. Like this app’s “copy local to remote” (instead of sync) is hidden in advanced configuration while it seems like a useful use case to be.

      Yeah I don’t want locally deleted media (to free up space) to sync those deletions to my remote.

      My crypted remotes wrap a B2 Backblaze one which doesn’t delete, just hides. Periodically I go clean it up.
