We are working on a project to provide a complete Google Photos alternative. There are 3 main advantages Google Photos provide:
1- Safe and resilient to data loss
2- Simple application interface
3- Flexible storage
We are working on a decentralized solution, which is indeed opensource. Solution is based on IPFS, IPLS and proxy re-encryption. Files are stored on an IPFS node, which can be synchronized with as many other nodes as user chooses to keep data safe and resilient to loss. Also data can be encrypted and saved safely on filecoin network or any normal cloud server. The node provides file management and database API through IPLD/IPFS. Developers can develop for end-users using simple-to-use APIs that are provided for each node. User can either install the open-source software on a machine manually to create a "BOX" node or purchase a "BOX" node.
First application we made is a Google Photo replacement, which you can find here:
