I need a solution for backing up images and videos from iOS (lemmy.world)

I currently use Nextcloud and Immich, Nextcloud on iOS is garbage though, it can't auto upload files if they are too big, even with the application open.

Immich is great, but is under very active development, so it could break any time. I take backups of the images and store it in my array, and external HDD and Google Drive (encrypted, nothing I upload to G drive is unencrypted). Immich is stores content in a complicated directory structure that goes 3-4 folders deep, I'm hoping to find something that just uploads all my photos and videos to a single folder or two.

iCloud only gives me 5GB, and it's almost full, and I dont want to pay for G Drive and iCloud+.

Is there another solution I can use to just store photos on my server, that will auto upload from iOS without issue?

Never had any breaks with immich. Immich libary is backuped daily to external provider. Data Retention is managed by them, so I only need to run my scripts.

The libary (upload folder) is the only thing you need to backup. I don't think it is more complicated than any other folder with subfolders. You can always start from zero

I use rclone for automatic backups from my server, Immich included 🐱
