My son was just born, and while a few photos will go on the likes of Facebook and Instagram, overall my partner and I are wanting to keep our shared photos private from the EULA abuses that we all know and hate.
Does anyone here have any good suggestions? I would create my own front end, but I can’t swing hosting or a static IP to do it from my local box. Are there any companies out there who aren’t total shit bags who claim immediate irrevocable license to all of my photos to do with whatever the fuck they please?

Proton offers a cloud photo storage similar to Googles but its all E2EE. A bit clunky compared to google but much more privacy friendly.
What is this photo storage thing? All I can find is proton drive.
Its part of proton drive. Drive has a section for photos.
Mega is e2ee and much cheaper
Mega doesn’t come with VPN, encrypted email and PW manager with integrated simplemail that ties in to your proton mail.
Different levels of service of course costs different amounts. If you don’t want or need any of the other things, then yeah Mega could be the best option for you.
Does come with vpn though https://mega.io/vpn
Pw manager bitwarden works great.
Proton mail is great but doesn’t really come with much usable cloud storage
Ah fair enough, didn’t know they also had a VPN service.
Does bitwarden integrate with something like simplemail to create unique addresses on the fly for accounts you create? That’s the feature I like the most about protons PW manager. I can easily just create a new mail address for an account somewhere that automatically forwards to my proton mail, but I can also answer with that unique mail from my proton mail.
I don’t use my mail for storage, and santiize content often, so I only need a few mb.
The 500gb on the drive is more than enough for my photo backup. There’s almost 10 years worth of photos on mine and I still have plenty space left.
Bitwarden has email alias integration on free accounts
Wonder if it’s worth upgrading a proton mail subscription for cloud storage or having a separate mega is better, I already get 50gb on free tier
I have bitwarden self-hosted, so I have no idea if they offer that with their cloud service (maybe look into the paid option, I think it’s just around 10 dollars a year), but the self-hosted does not have that option.
it’s small though.
