easy sharing ideally not locked into Apple’s ecosystem Personally, I’m looking for a place to store personal photos: friends, family, travel etc. A lot of it depends on what you’re looking to gain by adopting a new service/switching away from something else and individual concern.

There are also a lot of valid concerns in these comments about privacy and use of algorithms. The fact that it’s #1 on HN today (congrats!) makes me think I’m not the only one. I’ve been watching this project for a long time and personally am very excited. If there's anything we can do better, please let us know, we would like to. We are hoping to use this post as an opportunity to collect feedback from fellow hackers. We did a soft-launch on r/degoogle sometime ago, and have since then ironed out issues and polished the product.īut we are far from where we want to be in terms of features (object and face detection, location clustering, image filters. We have documented our architecture and open-sourced our clients. Under the hood it uses XChaCha20 and XSalsa20 for encryption and Argon2 for key derivation. We're relying on libsodium for performing all cryptographic operations. We will be providing additional replicas as an addon in the future. We've built a fault-tolerant data replication layer that replicates your data to two different storage providers in the EU. You can also use our electron app to maintain a local copy of your backed up files. You can access these across your devices, and share them with other ente users, end-to-end encrypted. We've so far built Android, iOS, web apps that encrypt your files and back them up in the background. Mylio Photos is slated to become available later this spring, but pricing was not revealed at the time of publication.Over the last year we've been building ente, a privacy-friendly, easy-to-use alternative to Google Photos. It’s not clear if those issues will be resolved with Mylio Photos. In an evaluation of the platform last year, PetaPixel found that while some things had changed, much of the original base application remained the same including tepid support for RAW files and rudimentary editing tools. Mylio Photos is the first major development from the company since its original launch in 2014. It also can organize images based on “life events” and dates and can be searched using location, camera, lens, and other filter options. Photos stored in Mylio Photos can be organized and searched with what the company describes as private facial or text recognition. While a cloud service is not required nor included, photographers can still link cloud storage libraries to Mylio’s interface. In this way, Mylio says that photographers can monitor the status of a library from anywhere and keep photos private and encrypted where they are.

Mylio Photos will sync and back up original images to a local hard drive and provides access to those images through a local network. The company says that photographers don’t have to worry about losing a photo or video while also don’t have to rely on a cloud storage service.

Photographers can then download the original files on any device at any time. Mylio says the service offers significant speed advantages through the use of a local network and peer-to-peer connections. The service optimizes RAW images to what the company claims is less than 5% of their original size, which makes them more convenient to edit on a variety of devices. Mylio Photos allows all images to always be stored locally on all devices and doesn’t require an internet connection to view or edit them.
