    Does it have an Android app that will automatically back up photos and videos that I take? Is there a way to do it without exposing a bunch of stuff from my home network?

      Yes, and yes.

      Their Android app feels like an exact clone of the Google Photos Android app.

      To access it remotely, you can use Tailscale like someone else mentioned. But you need to have Tailscale installed on everyone’s phones.

      You can also use a Cloudflare Tunnel to allow it to be accessed over the Internet without exposing anything from your home network directly to the Internet.

      The latter is useful when I want to share a secret link to a photo album after hanging out with people so everybody can upload the photos they took to one place (something I used to do a lot with Google Photos)

        I currently have a Wireguard server setup on my router with the client on my phone that connects automatically any time I leave home (thanks Tasker!). This is essentially the same as the tail scale setup, right??

        Any idea how much that cloudflare tunnel costs?? I’d love to be able to share via a link rather than sending individual pictures, but my current setup really only allows it if that person is connected to my home wifi.
