Wrote a blog post: Getting my photos Google-free - how to easily move from Google Photos to @pixelunion and host your photo albums in Europe.

It's a short guide on how and why it was totally worth it, plus an overview of PixelUnion's features.

From Google Photos to PixelUnion

Super fast and easy way to migrate from Google Photos to EU-based PixelUnion. A more private and better alternative for storing your photos.

I use Synology Photos which works great. Why are you not using Nextcloud Photos? Thanks for the tip about Pixelunion

It took me about 2 days to transfer over 250 GB of photos from Google Photos to @pixelunion with their migration tool. Now my photos are safe and sound in Europe.

The face recognition works even better than Google's, and Immich is an awesome piece of software. I would have hosted this entirely on my own like my Nextcloud, but paying a couple of bucks for 450 GB of storage and a fast server is a real bargain and saves me the hassle. Well done, PixelUnion!
