Most of us are using Google Photos to store our valuable memories and screenshots of documents we frequently need like identification cards. This was a win-win for us as well as Google.
We could use free storage and a good application interface to access our photos at the expense of our privacy, and Google could improve its Artificial Intelligence algorithms with the feed from our photos at the expense of a free storage offer. However, it all changed in June, when Google stopped its free service. Now it has become a loss for us, loss of privacy, loss of money and most importantly, loss of confidence in what else Google might change in future.
So we decided to develop the same UX and smoothness of Google Photos using React Native. However, instead of connecting it to a centralized cloud service to backup and store your photos, you are able to connect it to filecoin network! You can utilize the full power of decentralized web instead of paying Google for storing your photos and still get the same user experience you used to get from Google or Apple Photos. It can also connect to "box", which is another project you can check out.
