Hi guys! I'm overthinking to hire ente.io services to my photos. I know that there are self hosted services but I don't have any computer to do that only. Any thoughts about ente.io?
They're great! Their support is super responsive, I once complainted about a bug only to have it get fixed the other day (though don't expect it to be the case for every problem, they will still respond).
Their apps work great, they've got a great selection of features, memories, hide photos, photos map (see where you took your photos on a map, if location is enabled, an amazing feature), share albums and have the option for users and non ente users to add photos, and there's more.
All of that with e2ee.
Been a customer for at least a year now, and I'm really happy with my subscription.
IMO crypt.ee is better. Yes cryptee does not have auto upload and also no native apps but they progressive web app is awesome. They are recommended by privacyguides. On privacyguides's github you can also read why they don't recommend ente.io
As someone who has used both crypt.ee and ente.io I would never go back to using crypt.ee for photo management. Between the constant issues with their PWA not uploading HDR and motion photos, to crashes during the manual upload process, the incredibly small file size limits (I believe its 500MB?), and the lack of ability to properly share photos or storage with family makes the solution a deal breaker for me.
Ente.io has very close feature parity to something like Google Photos but with E2EE. I would highly recommend their solution over crypt.ee to anyone looking to do more than just store a few personal photos.
They add a RAW support and a few more features recently, so I believe adding support for HDR and more is a matter of time. But good to know that ente.io is now approved by privacyguides.
