Copying this from Reddit (I still get the daily emails). Since I no longer post there, I figured I would ask here, and include my prediction: Will be more popular, possibly in stable release. Still won't be able to rotate photos natively.

Unless you're a professional photographer who likes self hosting.. 😝

    That would be an insane amount of phone storage. I don't think a single available smart phone could sync an entire professional library of photos. Especially considering how large each photo is.

    Could use folders per project. Come on.. you're still commenting on this ?

    Man, you're the one who came in and said Immich could be used by professional photographers. Don't make dumbshit statements and then get pissy when others explain how you're wrong.

    Are you a professional photographer?

    No, just an amateur with an old Nikon D3100 and a couple lenses. Though I have a few family members who are professional wedding/family photogs. Usual equipment for them is a mac of some sort with lots of storage and Adobe Creative cloud (or whatever they call it).

    I don't understand why this is so difficult to comprehend - Pros don't use gallery-focused applications like Immich or Google Photos as their primary backup solution. This is not a thing that happens. If someone does use that kind of application, then they are the exception and not the rule.

    A professional photographer doesn't use cloud storage to store the GBs of RAW files from their shoots

    You're not uploading to Backblaze or Immich or GPhotos or whatever as your primary backup storage. You're dumping the SD cards, or saving RAW files directly, onto a fileserver or computer of some sort.

    Nobody in their right mind would use Immich or GPhotos for that kind of thing, which is what this chain was about. Backblaze is a completely different scenario, for backing up data after the fact.
