MemoryVault

MemoryVault is a privacy-first photo backup app that gives you complete control over your photo library. Instead of uploading to corporate cloud services, your photos go directly to your own Amazon S3 bucket — you own the data, you control access, and you manage storage costs which is way cheaper than google photos.
