You Can Now Sync Apple Photos With Xiaomi Cloud

I just want the Apple Photos app to have a setting where I can chose which cloud provider my photos sync through instead of it only being iCloud. OR being able to set a default photos app that has the same level of OS integration as Photos does (yeah right, Apple will never allow another app to compete on the same level as their own because it'll get trounced).
China Communist Party is your friend. Upload your photos and get social credit!

Yes, of course, I'm using it.
But if your data is stored in China, any weakness the US gov may be able to exploit within the E2EE is useless.That said, I won't be using Xiaomi Cloud for anything. I'll always be all-in on everything Apple.
My thought is, the broad collection of data of a US resident is infinitely more interesting and useful to the US gov than the CCP.... unless you're storing trade secrets, or other confidential information, that may be of use for Chinese companies.
I would never use Xiaomi specifically, but I love the idea of using Photos with syncing to another service than iCloud. Especially if it was possible to sync with self hosted options.
It doesn’t matter where your data is stored. If end to end encryption is enabled, and keys are with you, you are safeYes, of course, I'm using it.

You are assuming there's never going to be any attack vector, weakness, vulnerability found in the encryption. There have been dangerous flaws discovered in all manner of different encryption technologies. Don't assume "you are safe" because you have a key to a lock.
well you could use the iPhone app if you want to back up photos from your phone.....
