    I want to get off Google photos, but I also don’t want to pay a subscription. And I don’t really want to self host. A pay once service I’d accept, but I haven’t seen one with an extremely cursory search. I don’t need any fancy features. Just store the photos, let me see them online, and let me put them in albums.

      If its free, then you are the product. Can’t really expect to switch to another free product and expect any form of privacy. You could try Microsoft’s One Drive but it isn’t much different. I’ve been recommending Ente Photos which is a subscription but it’s worth it for me. About 3 or 4 bucks a month for 50GB.

        Right. I get that. But I’d like to just pay once. I don’t like subscriptions. But since file storage has ongoing costs, it seems unlikely anyone would offer a pay-once-and-we’ll-host-your-files.

          There is pcloud and filen.io both have lifetime plans but I’m not sure how close you can get to something like Google Photos or Ente Photos with these providers.
