So I stopped using Google Photos a while ago when the stopped offering the free photo storage for android users. Since then I'm being using OneDrive ( I already pay for O365 for other reasons and it comes with 5Tb included).

Since I did the migration my home users are struggling with it (wife and kids). There's no comparison on the functionality between Google Photos and OneDrive photos. All the AI features that Google Photos offers are unparalleled on OneDrive, like the automatic face recognition and moments album créations that creates awesome photos collection instagram style.

So my wife is putting pressure to get back to Google Photos, she can't stand OneDrive photos anymore.

I'm trying to exit/cut the cord on all mainstream tech services like many of you on the selfhosted community, so I don't want to get back to Google Photos, actually I want to take the opportunity of migrating out of OneDrive photos to leverage an selfhosted solution but the wife approval factor mandates that I need to be as close as possible from Google Photos feature set.

I was taking a look on some options like Photoprism and OpenPhotos but not sure if any of them are the best option or if even there better options out there.

Can you please help me to find the best option for my use case if there's any at all?

Other than Google Photos feature set, the possibility of SSO auth and multi user on one instance it's a plus, as well not paying for it. If I need to pay for a selfhosted solution in this case I prefer pay for Google Photos.

Thanks for your help
