Comment on What is the best way to sync images to my NAS?
conrad82@lemmy.world 1 week agoHm ok. I prefer to have a complete set of pictures on the phone in case the server goes to shit, as a third backup
I think I will stick to syncthing

In theory you can do that.
It just doesnt redownload to (usually) DCIM.
But say you upload your DCIM folder to immich, they are both on-device and on your server.
Until you delete them on the phone.

In my case, I got a new phone and expected I could use Immich to reupload all the images to the new phone. But that didn’t seem the case. With syncthing, it was easy.
But you lose the other benefits of immich when using syncthing, like sharing. the gallery app on my phone does a lot of the other things like faces, map …

Yeah in that use case syncthing fits more than immich.
In theory you probably could use immich.
During a phone replacement you pause immich sync, use syncthing to transfer the pictures and then enable immich sync again.
I believe immich should be able to detect those “new” pictures as duplicates and not upload it again.
