I haven't used it much if at all in the past year, but I finally took the last step and deleted it! Sorry if this is low effort I just don't have anyone I know to share it with.

Ente it you're looking for a paid service. (For me, photos are too important to self-host.) They're end-to-end encrypted and both server and clients are open source.

too important to self-host

For me it's the other way round. My photos are too important to trust any corporation - no matter how trustworthy they say they are.

Do you do any hosting on the cloud? Thinking of cases like a fire or flood or something

No I follow the 3-2-1 rule which states that you should have 3 copies in 2 locations where 1 of them is remote.

In my case, the remote part is two external SSDs where I leave one with my parents and the other one plugged into my NAS which does automatic daily backups. When my parents come I swap them around.
