Immich Uploader vs Spider
Side-by-side comparison of two open source alternatives
Immich Uploader
Immich Uploader is a small app that discovers media files on your Android device, then uploads them to your Immich instance. The app can be configured to remove media files from your device after successful updates. This can be configured individually by type of file (Photo, Screenshot, Download, or Others). The app needs INTERNET permissions for the upload as well as access to your media files, which it will explicitly ask for.
Spider
This application connects you to your SFTP server. As login methods you can use a password or your PEM private key. At the moment only PEM keys are supported, so check to have it in the correct format. With release 0.2.2 also encrypted PEM keys are supported. You can browse your files in the SFTP server and download them with a long press, or upload new ones using the '+' floating button. It also supports swipe down to refresh.
