What is Ente Photos?
Ente is a privacy-focused app for backing up and sharing photos and videos. Its key feature is end-to-end encryption, ensuring only the user can access their content. The app is available on Android, iOS, web, and desktop, with seamless photo synchronization across all platforms. It allows users to share albums via publicly accessible links.
Data is secured by being stored in three separate locations, including a fallout shelter in Paris. The app aims to preserve memories for future generations.
Ente Photos offers high-quality backups, family storage plans, collaborative albums, shared folders, password-protected album links, and the ability to delete backed-up files to free up space. It features a built-in image editor, photo description options, and tools to favorite, hide, and revisit photos. Import from Google, Apple, and hard drives is supported. Two-factor, three-factor, and biometric authentication are included for additional security.

One of the best google Photos alternative, It even has Family Plans 🤩. It also encrypts the metadata, while allowing to search through the metadata to find your photos.
The most desired feature is the subfolder feature. The first request was in Oct 2023 and is by far the most desired feature on that app.
But devs are saying that it would need too much rework to implement this feature.
Only response from devs is that "tags" could solve that issue too. Users should get rid of folders and subfolders.
But for me, tags are not the same as folders and subfolders. Before you go all in, think of how you want to sort your photos.
They are working on it dude.
It's been a true revelation that I didn't see coming. A capable, respectful, beautiful, a product of love capable of taking on Google / Apple Photos? It's still a young endeavour but it's making good, constant improvement. Very accessible, open and frank people as well. I love the project.
This app is one of the best discoveries I’ve made on the App Store in years. It has quickly become my go-to solution for backing up my family’s most important photos and videos. It truly sets the gold standard for file preservation, and when paired with the Filen app, it becomes part of an outstanding combination for keeping valuable files safe and secure. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable way to protect their memories and important data.
Amazing secure and private alternative to Google photos! Incredible features available such as easily sharing with others who don't have an account and, if you enable it, on-machine local ai face recognition!
Has some really impressive features that I have not seen on any other end to end encrypted photo backup apps. Things like people detection, smart search, and a really nice guest upload experience.
Ente Photos has all the features from Google Photos / iCloud while being completely end-to-end encrypted, open source and self-hostable. This is the solution I was searching for my whole life!
