Google support for literally anything is non existent. Same could be said about Meta.

I am slowly shifting away from Google. Gmail and Google Photos is going to be the hardest. :/

For Gmail, I switched to fastmail. For google photos, I switched for immich.

The services that I still use from them are google maps, YouTube and SSO. They are all services that I wouldn't mind them shutting down. It's just that I find them much better than any alternatives.

How is immitch for you? I've been considering this for quite awhile.

I installed this week, so I'm not a long time user. But it's by far the best self hosted photo app that I've used. Before that I used nextcloud, but the user experience isn't as good Imo.

The only things that I miss are automatic albums based on face recognition and pet recognition. I still use google photo to share with family though.
