Hi,

I’m trying to find a way to have my iPhone’s photos be automatically (or even manually) backed up/synced with my home server.

I heard about photo prism here and got it up and running, however I could not find a free app that lets you sync. Photo sync is their main recommendation and it puts high quality photo backup behind premium.

Is there any solution that lets you backup your photos through home wifi?

Thanks in advance.

Edit: thanks to the suggestions, I found this handy chart listing many and comparing them: https://meichthys.github.io/foss_photo_libraries/

I've been using folder sync pro for ages and ages https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=dk.tacit.android.foldersync.full

It basically syncs a folder from your phone to a folder on your home servers share.

I think it was paid.... But it's been years so I couldn't tell you.

It's currently $3.99 in the Play Store for me, with a crossed-out list price of $6.49. Not a bad deal.

Yeah I've definitely gotten that out of it.

It backs up my entire phone to my server.
