Apple was not able to narrow the scope of a UK lawsuit accusing it of locking 40 million UK consumers into iCloud, to the detriment of third-party cloud storage providers. British consumer group Which? first filed the lawsuit in late 2024, and is asking for £3 billion for UK Apple customers. Apple wanted to exclude non-paying iCloud users from the lawsuit, but the tribunal denied Apple's request in a 2 to 1 majority.
Möbius Sync can sync photos via SyncThing, but the photo support is currently in early beta. So results may work perfectly, or maybe not at all. Möbius is also what I use to automatically sync my Obsidian vaults, since Obsidian locks cloud vaults behind their subscription model. I just sync all my devices to my NAS (and to each other) via SyncThing.
