Ratings and reviews

I've been moving away from Google and other commercial SaaS apps for years. Many self-hosted apps aren't quite feature-rich or great in terms of user experience, and I've come to accept that as a trade-off. With Immich not only I get virtually unlimited storage, better control and security, but also I think it's even better than Google Photos in so many ways.

Switched to Immich 6 months ago. It took about a week to upload 60k (0.6 TB) of photos and videos to the local NAS (not the upload itself, but mainly post upload processing - due to slow NAS). Once done, only good experience, it's smooth, no crashes, updated multiple times with no issues. Except for one time when the mobile app got an auto update, while the server had the previous version. All good after updating the server. Great work.

better than google drive or google photos. I wish I could make the app do an"upload limit" because when I try to upload an entire folder with many files in it, it crashes. Like if it could only upload 2 at a time (or a number that I can set) then that would be perfect.
