    Maybe this is a better question for degoogle@lemmy.ml, but:

    What’s a good way to get off Google Photos and Drive on my phone? It looks like Proton seems like the right fit, but compared to Google One for $20/year, Proton for $120 seems like a bit much. I guess you’re paying to not be the product? Although, shoot, my VPN auto-renewed for $100 a year, so I guess I’m already paying $120…

      Pcloud offers lifetime accounts. Price is reasonable if you plan to use it for 10+ years. Its basically a bet that they will still be around in 10 years.

      If your willing to deal with self hosting, immich is a great alternative. Its facial recognition and search is practically on par with google photos.

      The only downside is it doesnt’ have photo editing, and its under active developmeant (it gets weekly updates and you occasionally need to modify docker config though they do give a warning in ui).
