Have you used immich? I think I was looking at photoprism because exif & facial recognition/easy categorization.
Moving off apple’s ecosystem is fucking painful.
It's a good time to move away from uploading your family photos/videos to cloud storage offered by big tech (apple, google, microsoft, amazon, facebook).
Consider self hosted free and open source software solutions instead. I like Photoview and Photoprism, but there are plenty of others.

I tried it a while back. I didn't like that you had to upload the photos into the portal (and it would rename them), rather than just scrape a directory and create the albums. This might have changed since.
Ya that’s dumb. I’m gonna fuck with ‘em myself at some point soon.🤞
Same with Google Photos; Google purposefully made it so that evacuating you data from them requires hours and hours of meticulous exporting and verifying thst you did get the right photos out.
