so, im just technologically literate enough….
I pay for two domains, both used for paid email for myself, and my kids to use. I use Workspaces. I also use Photos (last i checked i was tickling 1TB of photos, i pay for 2tb monthly). I average between 100-200 photos weekly, with probably 90% being photos of plumbing; new construction, reroutes, spot repairs, stuff for inspection, things found underground etc. Occasionally i take photos of plants/bugs and post them to /earth.
I do not delete anything. Ever. Its saved my ass more times than i can count on my fingers and toes. Being able to geotag a photo with a physical address is priceless to me. I really like being able to pull up photos from 8-10 years ago, of plumbing i put in a wall, long since sheetrocked/painted and forgotten about, just by typing in the address of the house im working at. I am in this situation almost monthly.
That said, does Ente have this capability? Just out of curiosity sake how TF do I transfer a TB of photos out of Photos and into Ente, were i to do so? Do i have to manually upload a photo each time i take one? Photos is more or less seamless in that regard. I understand Google is probably looking at my photos, but to be honest, its just photos of broken and repaired plumbing, with the occasional photo of human waste in some form due to my profession. Google wanna look at photos of poop? Be my guest, Google.
I own an iphone but do not use apple for photo storage because im a new convert of sorts. I have only owned an iphone since 2022, whereas i owned an Android device since 2.0, donut.
Not the OP, but looked some things up because I was curious. Ente has a 2Tb storage option that costs $300/year or $30/mo; not sure how much you pay for that much storage in Google Photos. Their FAQ says they have an easy import process from Google Photos via Google Takeout (bulk download your data from all Google services). No idea if ente respects the geotags but I imagine they would (seems like an important feature for a Google photos killer).
Thanks for the info. Thats approx 2x what im paying currently for 2tb plus email (im using Google Business Standard plan) so if i were to switch, id also need to find a cheaper email host as well, otherwise id be paying for two services.
In all likelihood im probably not the target market. It works, it works well enough, and i guess im entrenched enough that my momentum isnt going to cause me to leave.
