Apple can go fuck themselves.

The hardest part for me was getting off of Icloud photos. Its not just the phone is its the cloud.

Step 1 - Get an old laptop with reasonable SSD.

Step 2 - Download Start OS (Umbrel is an option)

Step 3 - Download self hosted Nextcloud on the laptop. (One click install on Start9)

Step 4 - Down FOSS Nextcloud on Android.

Step 5 - Set photos to upload to your own self hosted cloud.

Step 6 - If you don't like Nextcloud on Android try Les Pas.

Syncthing is awesome too. I use it to sync my entire phone storage to a folder on my PC. All files available always. Included in Umbrel, not sure about start9.
