What finally solved the situation for me was to break the big challenge into bits and pieces - meaning that I am not looking for a "big" solution anymore. I do perfectly understand your concerns - as I had similar questions. I am willing to ditch Moments, and try photo station, or even third party programs, but before I start moving files and changing folder structure (there are >1TB of photos/videos in total) I would like some recommendations on a good set up. Is there no way to simply give view rights to specific subfolders/albums of your photos to other people? Or add to shared library not by copying but by creating shortcuts? This of course doubles the used disk space, so I don't want that. So then I (user1) can see them, but the other users can't unless I copy them to the shared library. I reluctantly gave up complete control of folder location as there was no way to make moments look at my preferred folder location, and I put all my photos in my moments folder (user1). My experience so far has been underwhelming. easy sharing (especially useful for albums/photos that the whole family should have access to) ideally have more than one app pointing to the photo libraries being able to change the file/folder structure an option to manually upload as well (from a DSLR or other source for example) automated backup from all devices to the respective users' libraries That's fine, I would still like to find the best solution possible. I understand there are compromises and the interface is not as slick as google photos. I recently bought a DS220+, with one of the main goals being to host all the photos, maybe reduce the number of local backup locations, and ideally not rely on google photos at all.

I also had cloud backup with Google photos, not in the full image quality but the free "high quality", which is good enough for browsing, searching, sharing etc. I have had local backups of all photos in 3 different hard drives, periodically synced, with one of them in a different house (synced less often, about once a year). The situation: Family of four, two young kids, 8 and 6, so just starting to take their own photos with their tablets. I have read several discussions without finding a definitive answer so I decided to register and create a new thread. I am looking for recommendations and help creating a photo backup/sharing setup.
