I’d speculate CFs secret sauce here is working their asses off to negotiate peering arrangements globally, and avoiding paying transit. Then passing on the savings.

Cloud providers simply charge insane markups on very cheap bandwidth.

You or I can buy transit from e.g. he.net for ~$0.15/mbit/mo. 10Gbit transit @ $1500/mo will transfer 3PB/mo.

3PB egress on AWS = $157,491.11/mo.

Has anyone found a good family friendly alternative? In particular I would really like to:

- Pay for the service (sustainable/trustworthy business model)

- Be able to very tightly control access to albums as I really don't want kid photos ending up on facebook or similar due to crazy aunt kathy (in google photos anyone with access can add anyone else and until recently there was no way to remove people)

- Ability to require a full/proper login for guests (no hard-to-guess urls as security)

- Confirmed and well-tested backup as a feature (sha1 of the backup matches my local, original copy, no stripping of the geo data!)

- Decent ios and android clients that can auto backup all photos on the device

Check out Mylio. Happy user here. Doesn't quite tick all your boxes but it's been a great Aperture/Photos.app/iPhoto replacement for me.

Picasa was so useful, so of course Google had to kill it.

It took multiple disparate photo directories and presented everything in a timeline of folders. And because everything was local, that happened quickly, rather than waiting for your browser to get the next 100 photo results from a javascript call or whatever.

Are there any photo clients for windows that present multiple folders as a single coherent timeline? And can manage tens of thousands of pictures? I've got stuff going back to the late 1990s and would love to be able to find all those old cat pictures or whatever.

I use and like Mylio (https://mylio.com/). Does face recognition & syncs to other devices without being in the cloud. I migrated from Aperture/Picasa to Mylio.

I'm in a similar situation re: moving off Google services.

I use Mylio (https://mylio.com/), I think it hits most of your points.

Works great for managing my ~200k images. Syncs between my laptop/desktop/phones and also to Google/Amazon drive with optional encryption.

You can define which size of photos are synced to various devices, so my phones have thumbnails, my laptop has preview size photos, and my server/workstations have full copies.
