The article discusses how Ente, an open-source photo backup service, emerges as a popular alternative for users seeking privacy in photo storage, particularly after Google Photos discontinued unlimited storage in 2020. Founded by former Google employee Vishnu Mohandas, Ente offers end-to-end encryption, local processing capabilities, and easy cross-platform access. Users can enjoy features like natural language search and share accounts among multiple people. Ente's focus on privacy addresses growing concerns over how large tech companies handle personal data, setting it apart from competitors.
"Google takes security seriously, but not user privacy. They don’t really care about protecting personal data from their own employees."
"Ente offers end-to-end encrypted photo storage across platforms, ensuring the service can’t access users’ photos at all while providing local processing for features."
