For Android I've used SyncThing for ages. Any way to break out of the Apple ecosystem for photo syncing?

HEIC? Not that odd, it's essentially a H265 single frame (and video is just H265). You can change it in camera settings but the alternative is JPEG. Blegh.

So I’m old. HEIC caused me a few headaches when I first ran across it. I get that it’s “better” but of all the nerdages I can claim, photo or camera nerd isn’t one of them. JPEGs have generally been good enough for my needs.
