I currently have an Adobe CC subscription that I would really like to end, so am looking for some advice or recommendations. I have been searching around but am struggling to find alternatives due to some fairly strict requirements.

What I am looking for is a Lightroom style app for Linux and Android that would sync to the cloud, or ideally sync to my personal cloud storage. I’m happy to pay a one off lifetime payment but would prefer to donate to a FOSS project if possible.

I have started to play around with Darktable and do know that you can use remote storage but the syncing seems a little clunky.

Any suggestions at all will be very much appreciated.

    I did watch a video on how to sync Darktable to pictures on your NAS, but it required manually pulling down the images and then manually syncing them back up again, which kind of defeated the purpose of sync for me.

      I’m surprised Lightroom takes care of syncing itself.

      I use the nextcloud desktop client. It makes any directory a cloud directory which syncs automatically. Just point any software to it and as soon as a file is changed, it gets synced.

        Yeah Lightroom has its own built in cloud storage solution that syncs your edits but not the originals. It does have some nice functionality, like being able to share custom albums online as a public or private gallery, but obviously just keeps you hooked on the Adobe ecosystem.

        I went for pcloud over nextcloud a few years ago, as at the time, I just needed large off-site file storage and they have very good deals on multi-terabyte lifetime subscriptions. I am currently looking at setting up my own NAS though and will probably go with nextcloud for that.

        I don’t have a NAS yet but that is the next upgrade for the network. However part of the added complexity is that I’d also like to be able to do quick edits on mobile on the go as well.

      Maybe you could set up syncthing for the sync part.
