Content organization strategy
I am testing Immich for a couple days now to see if it would be a good solution to host our family albums. So far I love it, but also identified a couple drawbacks specifically if me and my partner have different accounts (primarily for the phone sync feature), everything seems to be complicated (due to Partner sharing not actually sharing detected faces yet, and I don't think its sharing the albums either). It also looks like once an account uploads pictures, assigning metadata etc. it's not really straightforward (if possible) to "move" content from an account to another. So because of this, I'm trying to find a way to start on my Immich journey so I don't have too much drawbacks later.
Can experienced Immich users please validate the following for me.
With my current knowledge, I see this as a possible solution:
- Use a shared Immich account with my partner
- Based on my testing, both of us is able to sync from their phones with the shared account. There are no privacy concerns using shared.
- We also have a ~300 GB library of older photos and videos, which will be brought in as an external library to the shared account
- Once Partner sharing will include facial recognition data and album data, we can maybe use a dedicated account and just add both my and my partners account to this shared account
Thoughts?
Any helpful response will be appreciated.
