June 3Jun 3 I see there are several apps to backup iCloud Photos and I wa t to do the same with Amazon photos. I’ve looked and can’t find anything. Suggestions?
June 3Jun 3 Community Expert Ill be honest, you're the only person Ive ever come across that has even mentioned amazon having photo hosting...With that said it's not clear what you mean. Are you trying to backup photos to amazon photos or are you trying to migrate existing photos from amazon photos elsewhere? And if it's the latter of the two what was your plan where are you going to store them?
June 3Jun 3 Author Hello - yes, it's the latter. We have a ton of photos on Amazon Photos and I've been setting up my IMMICH server here on UNRAID server. I don't want to have Amazon just decide to change the plan and I've been making an effort to get off all the cloud services. I think IMMICH can do some of this but I rather have a docker container grabbing everything and not tying up one of my computers. Of course there are VM options I'm sure, but then I'd just install the VM and then delete it. I have about 30GB (72K files) that I think would tie up a machine for a while, maybe even overnight.
June 3Jun 3 Community Expert Solution From what I can gather amazon does not offer a public API to manually retrieve the photos which might be why you cant seem to find anything on it.They want you to be locked in which IMO is a terrible thing for the consumer due to having your photos being held hostage like what you described.
