The Pixel hasn't left the house since 2018. All it has done since then is run SyncThing and upload the photos/videos taken by my current phones.

Maybe will consider doing that on my Poco F1 (which is spoofed as a Pixel XL) once I get a new daily driver

I've never heard of Syncthings, could you tell me more about it? Sounds interesting!

It's a free app that syncs files to a central location. In my case, I sync any photo or video I take on my Pixel 7 to my Pixel 1. The Photos app on my Pixel 1 then uploads the new photos to Google Photos.

Really cool! Apart from the photos ending in Google photos, I thought you'd use a local backup or something :-)

What's the point of syncing with an OG pixel with unlimited free Google storage if you are not using it?
