The one thing I can’t quit is Google Photos. I might give apple photos another go, but it really was subpar a year ago.

Anyone else struggled to leave google photos?

I switched to https://ente.io/ a couple of months ago. I used Google Takeout to grab my bits and imported it into ente.

Some massaging was needed of the takeout data to remove some dupes but uploading was smooth and the UI is pretty good.

with E2EE, I guess there is no search? I find this to be the single biggest limitation of proton mail for example.

I find the ability to search for faces and objects a key element. Otherwise my photos just collect dust (figuratively).

Search is fine for my uses. It doesn't have the facial recognition to quickly search for all photos of a person but it looks to be tagging things in an accepta le manner and I've found the things I've been looking for.

I used their free trial - 1Gb of storage available for a year iirc - to try out a few things but then ran in parallel for a while and now have stopped syncing my new photos to Google. Good luck with whatever you decide!
