It looks like Google Photos is no longer going to be an option for me.
What's your weapon of choice for storing your photos? My criteria:
* Easily back up photos taken on my Android phone (ideally automatically).
* Make photos easily searchable, preferably using image recognition.
* Not lock me into a specific ecosystem (like Meta or Apple).
* Not require paying to rent space.
Google Photos is great on the first two but fails on the last two.

If you're not concerned with privacy, you could put them on your own public server and let google's spider crawl through them and then use google's public image recognition/search.
@Pat I'm not overly concerned, but full-on public to the world seems a bit much.
