The most requested feature for Immich has just been implemented by this guy!
Now using Immich makes much more sense since you’ll be able to sync with Immich your existing photo galleries!

Wow that’s awesome! Props to etnoy for creating such a polished PR for this feature
I can’t wait to simply point immich at my existing photo structure :)
Is anyone using this? It looks great, but that disclaimer everywhere saying you shouldn’t use it concerns me.
If you use it, what is your experience?
saying you shouldn’t use it
The disclaimer says "Do not use the app as the only way to store your photos and videos.. It doesn’t say not to use it.
In other words, don’t (yet) trust it like you might Google Photos or iCloud. Make sure your images are syncing to your Immich server, and make sure you back them up.
I’ve been using Immich for a few months now, and couldn’t be happier. I have a 2N+C strategy for my data (what many people call 3-2-1). My Immich server writes all synced photos and videos to my primary NAS, which in turn is synced to my secondary NAS. Once a night, I sync copies to a cloud storage service.
That’s really awesome! I’ll hold off from trying this for one or two updates, hopefully by then Immich will automatically create albums based on the folder structure as well.
And some solid library sharing feature would also go a long way towards sharing (old) family photos with the whole family!
