My wife is using Google Photos, and I’ve been using Photoprism for a few months. I just had a baby, and I access to download the pictures that my wife takes. I’m not too sure of what I want. I guess I want two separate libraries, but I want to be able to view her pictures easily and add them into my library. I believe if I spin up a second photoprism instance, I’d have to download her pictures individually and reupload them into my instance.
What do any of you do? Do you even host photo storage for your family?
I used rclone to get all my photos down, then I used Immich’s bulk import API to get everything into Immich just yesterday. I did about 14k photos.
Take note of the limitations of rclone though, it won’t get the original full resolution - https://rclone.org/googlephotos/#limitations you need to use Google Takeout to get full resolution.
