Memories is a fast, modern and advanced photo management suite, that installs quickly and easily inside Nextcloud. My video contrasts it with the Photos app that comes with Nextcloud, and highlights some reasons why you may want to use it instead of Photos. This app has face, object, landmark, place, and human action recognition capability through the Recognise app. It's not that obvious, but albums can be shared, and photos commented on, with other Nextcloud registered users using the underlying Nextcloud file commenting system.
Memories is a great way to collaborate and share photos privately with friends and family, and even to share public links to some of your albums. It can even work on a Raspberry Pi hosted in the home.
It also has apps for iOS and Android, which can optionally auto-upload photos into Memories.
By saving/reading titles and descriptions into the photo's EXIF headers means that importing or exporting out of Memories is a lot less of a chore with migrating between photo services.

v7.1 has already fixed the focus issue within Memories for comments, a day after I posted this video - comments can be viewed as easily now within the Memories app.
Dankie, I have been looking for something like this.
incredible, much more comfortable, easy to configure and has an app. Quite the opposite of photoprism. Thanks for doing this review.
You're very welcome! The only sticky thing for me is the viewer comments but not everyone has that as a requirement, and no app has absolutely everything. Hopefully you also saw my 3 or so other photo management app videos as they may also give some insight into the other offerings.
Thank you Danie for this great review.
Thanks Paul, appreciate your feedback!

I'm shocked this isn't brought up more as GPhotos alternative! Thanks for sharing. Would love to hear which you prefer out of this App and Immich.
Good point! I'm still struggling to decide and really need to re-watch all my videos about this. I love Memories actually and especially the way it sits (and accepts) the photos inside of Nextcloud, but the commenting system is horribly clunky as it uses Nextcloud's file comments. I imagine the comments are robust as it uses what works well, but if a UI could run the comments in front it could be a winner.
Good to know. Honestly, I never used the comment features much. Once in a blue moon I'll send something to my mother-in-law she'll respond back with a heart on Google photos
Then I think Memories will serve very well. The end user app also works well on a phone with album views etc, or just sending a plain link which I use for my more tech-challenged family.
@@GadgeteerZA That's what I was thinking. Thank you for all your life information! Now my hangup is the latest next cloud install on TrueNAS is having issues
Does auto sync work on iOS? So far that’s not working in every app I have tested.
I really can't say, as I got rid of my iPhone a year back. I do know iOS is quite aggressive about background apps. It may be worth asking on their Discord channel at discord.com/channels/1100157156742926406/1100157157669879921 or their GitHub project.
I'm having trouble adding photos from a shared folder to an album. Is there a trick to getting that to work? Great video.
I've mostly been uploading from my desktop into Memories. But if you have existing photos in your time line you should be able to open them full screen, and then choose from the menu top right to add to album. Or do you mean from folders someone else shared with you?
@@GadgeteerZA its trying to add shared photos that you don't own to an album. I can't get it to work with either photos or memories :( tags work so thats what we have been using.
I'm not too sure of exactly what your situation looks like but remember there is a difference between Memories albums where you have to "link" photos to them in Memories or during an upload, versus Nextcloud shared folders. For the latter, Memories will have to read those photos in if it has access to those folders i the path. That happens automatically as the photos are in NC shared folders. Only thing for that is to maybe change the root folder in Memories, or else move your NC folders.
But if neither Photos or Memories is doing what you expect, the problem is maybe not with them, but at the NC folder level.
thanks for the video. Is it possible to manually tag people even in a photo where the system didnt detect any?
Thanks!!! Yes two ways:
1. Obviously, just adding tags in metadata and filtering on that.
2. But you mean for People View: Click on that Person with question mark icon at top right when in People View. It will highlight some faces with a green square in photos there. Select just those photos with the same face you want to ID. Then click on the icon top right that has small arrow to right saying Move to Person. If a person is not already present, then click on + to add them, and move.
But that is only for faces it recognises as faces. You can't manually draw around a face and add it like Piwwigo does. You can maybe tweak the face recognition parameters under settings though to force it to recognise more faces, maybe.
Not also its recognition runs in batch jobs so object, face, etc recognition may take a while after uploads are done. Under Nextcloud Admin Settings / Recognise, you can see if face recognition has photos in the queue still.
