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?

I use PhotoSync to sync my Apple Photos to my NAS over SMB.

+1 for PhotoSync to NAS. Rock solid for me - the only backup solution for iPhone that actually gets the job done IMHO.

They upload via sftp and from there move into an organised and viewable photo hierarchy on a mirrored, local NAS drive via PhotoPrism (wholeheartedly recommended). An overnight backup from the NAS then moves them to a European and a US cloud storage with different providers (Backblaze B2 in the US and OVH Cloud Archive storage in Germany).
