      Flickr vs Google Photos opinions
      This alternative is disputed. Flickr is still a legitimate alternative to Google Photos, but it might have issues that some users think are important.
      Flickr isn't a photo-storage app but more a social network for photographers.

      Piwigo vs Google Photos opinions
      Almost everyone thinks Piwigo is a great alternative to Google Photos.
      Piwigo has come a long way since I first tried it. It’s great alternative method of storing photos in a cloud. It it is open source and can be self hosted. However, if you are not capable of managing your own LAMP stack, it appears you can get a hosted service at piwigo.com
