Looking for an alternative to synology photos. I moved over to synology about 3 years ago and am now considering moving out of the synology ecosystem. I'm looking for something that has a decent android app, wifi syncing, shareable albums, all the standard stuff.

Edit: thanks for the many replies, I'll likely move to nextcloud as I was planning on deploying that anyway as a synology drive replacement. I'll look into immich as well.

Immich is still in relatively active development, but has a great feature set and is the only app that could reasonably replace Google Photos for me. Can recommend!

Moved to immich from Google photos recently, it's an awesome replacement and the ml stuff works really well actually

What was your migration process like?

Not bad at all, set it to sync the photos on my phone with the app and imported photos I had on a drive previously, I still need to get a download of all of my Google photos that aren't on my phone though

The Google Photos part is the what I'm dreading. But good to see immich improving and being recommended more and more.
