(Not a software, but a service) I'm looking for a good, non-invasive and lightweight app/webservice that I can use to quickly upload photos from different devices onto one central image folder. (lemmy.world)

As the title says, I'm looking for something I can use to access a cloud image folder from many devices. Something lightweight without much bloat and good privacy features and no ads with a decent storage limit (and that doesn't compress HD photos to hell)

Free is best but paid is okay too.

I feel like there's an obvious answer here but I've yet to find one.

Note this is only for backup. If you want a gallery type view with thumbnails, you may be able to combine it with this but I don't have a ready to go solution.

Rclone: https://rclone.org/

Android Rclone: https://github.com/newhinton/Round-Sync

Round sync isn't in any app store so use https://github.com/ImranR98/Obtainium.

Use rclone on PC and round sync on android.

Round sync can do scheduled backups.

Will have to setup cron or w/e on PC.

You can pick most any storage provider with rclone and wrap in an encrypted vault which means it won't get compressed, or it will be lossless compression.

Use copy instead of sync otherwise it will delete files.
