So far I love Ente. It has a HIGH amount of free storage, but also has plans for more storage. I love that when I press the delete button, it lets me choose if I want to delete just from my device and only save to Ente, or delete from both. My only issue (which could be user error) is when trying to crop images. Cropping vertically (up/down) doesn't immediately work and pressing the corner borders wants to make it crop horizontally (left to right). Maybe I'm doing something wrong?

It works OK but I have a number of issues. I dislike the icon so much I won't have it on my home screen. Superficial I know but :shrug: I was hoping to use it as a curated photo collection rather than auto backup all photos. if I try to share the photo with ente it tries to force me to choose an album, I can't just leave it as uncategorised. I could create an "Inbox" album but I don't really want to.

Moved 60k pics from Google Photos to this. 1) The Memories function, one of the main reasons I chose Ente to replace Google, isn't smooth. Sometimes I'll look at a year's memories partially or all the way through, and when I go to another year, it's like I didn't look at the first year, because it starts at the same point it started at the first time, and I have to swipe through all the photos again to see "new" ones. 2) The setup process should recommend enabling AI during uploads to expedite
