My son was just born, and while a few photos will go on the likes of Facebook and Instagram, overall my partner and I are wanting to keep our shared photos private from the EULA abuses that we all know and hate.

Does anyone here have any good suggestions? I would create my own front end, but I can't swing hosting or a static IP to do it from my local box. Are there any companies out there who aren't total shit bags who claim immediate irrevocable license to all of my photos to do with whatever the fuck they please?

Maybe don't share online?

We have a printing center in my area that prints high quality full color photos for 75 cents a page.

I mean, you can just use some simple hard drives if you just want something that works. You can get a terabyte for like 40 bucks nowadays.

Have pictures printed and mail them. Use a family text thread.

If you aren’t gonna host your own digital files and you don’t want someone else to get their hands on em those are the options.

I don't mind self-hosting, I just need something that can host from a dynamic IP since static is too expensive right now.

there's vps providers in the $10 per year range that come with fifteen or so gigabytes of storage and a static ip if you can swing that.

here's cloudserver with ten bucks for a year of static IP and 20GB

i can't imagine baby pictures would push the bounds of that storage...

Google Photos works well except it is exactly what you don't want.
