A lesser version of this is why I stopped using Google photos. Literally every time I opened it it tried to get me to back up to their stuff. It doesn't matter how many times I say no. It's going to keep asking till I accidentally fat finger it or my daughter does.

It's also why I'm moving off of Gmail. Every time I log in it tries to get me to give it extra information. I don't need my fucking email to have my phone number, my real name, and every other piece of personal information. My email is for email. I dont want or need it to be my google approved social security number across the internet.

Immich (selfhosted) is a good solution. I've been running it for over a year now.
