Your unified photo hub — sync, browse, and search your photos with AI.
Photos Drive is a photo management platform that connects and displays all your photos across different storage solutions in one place.
It syncs and uploads photos from your computer to configured databases and photo storage accounts using a CLI tool. A web UI then presents your photos in a list or map view, organized by nested albums that reflect the folder structure on your computer.
- Upload photos directly to Google Photos from the CLI or the Photos Drive Python library.
- Sync & compare local vs cloud photos with the CLI.
- Integrate easily with other systems using the Photos Drive Python package.
- Browse albums and folders in a simple Web UI.
- View photos efficiently with lazy loading and pagination.
- Secure login to the Web UI using Google OAuth2.
- Explore photos on a map to see where they were taken.
- AI-powered search with Gemini + CLIP: find photos by objects, places, or descriptions.
