I am just so jaded by now. Choosing something like Ente to store my photos is going to be a big effort. In 5 years they might also go down the drain again, because you never know. Or their leadership changes and suddenly they are interested in scanning all your pictures for whatever reason.
For me it is really hard to go with any subscription service ever again, not just for the regular cost (which makes sense for something with upkeep cost like Ente) but also for the effort of moving data in but potentially also out again, investing into implementing it into my personal workflow of saving pictures.
Maybe sounds unreasonable for others but for me this is a big hurdle to tackle.
Right now I self-host everything. I have Immich as a management tool, but I use Nextcloud through WebDAV to sync photos from my phone. So I can just freely switch between management tools and file servers, as long as WebDAV is available, without changing my workflow.
Its been a while since i last Followed them but I think they have an organic growth company and wont fall anytime soon. From what I know they just Profit Off of the subscriptions, no ads and thats what they pay the Servers for and i think they arent vc funded
I use them for pics and 2fa. The pics had a bit of a bumpy start, but it's all been cleared up and works as expected. Their support has been prompt and helpful. Nothing but the best to them. Good luck!
