I don’t use gallery apps on my phone because I don’t have the space for terabytes of photos and videos on my phone, but my server sitting in my closet does.

So Aves and other gallery apps are useless to me, and I’ll stick with whatever native gallery app exists ob whatever phone i use.

I can remotely view my entire gallery from abroad with Immich (which also happens to allow me to sync photos), and save the space on my phone for more photos.

It does everything Google charges money for in Google photos, but for free. NextCloud and random gallery apps offers nothing similar.

In immich I can open the world map and select photos i took in Hungary and Colorado without having to manually tag and manually locate them, and I have thousands of photos (hundreds of gigs of videos backed up from my phone as well) from the last 25 years taken across the world and can do this seamlessly by simply uploading them and having my server run a heuristic to automatically do this from the photograph metadata, and then proceed to share them with a self-hosted link to my spouse to enjoy.

Can I do this with NextCloud or on my phone without killing the battery?

Fuck chrome. Such a dogshit unoptimized spyware browser that now disables ad-blocking plugins
