Instead of Lomorage
Lomorage alternatives
Lomorage backs up photos and videos from phones to your own computer, NAS, or Raspberry Pi while preserving original files, EXIF metadata, and Live Photos. Automatic backups can be limited to Wi‑Fi, charging, nighttime, or selected folders. Local AI search covers scenes, people, places, and words inside images, while Free Up Space removes backed-up local files. Multiple isolated family accounts, external-drive support, and integrations such as Jellyfin and Samba add flexibility. It is free, supports Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, Windows, web, and self-hosting, and says it keeps operation on a private network without collecting privacy data.

An alternative may fit better if you want encrypted cloud storage, gallery publishing, broader editing, specialized family-history tools, or a different hosting model. Lomorage requires the computer or NAS to stay powered and reachable, and iOS background backup faces Apple’s restrictions. Compare where originals are stored, how search and sharing work, supported formats and clients, family features, deployment requirements, and ongoing price before switching.
