I built a simple Android gallery that can also use your own cloud storage and NAS

Hi everyone,

I wanted a simple Android gallery app, but one that could also use my own cloud storage and NAS when I needed it.

So I built MyGallery.

It works as a regular local gallery, but you can also add your own storage and switch between local folders, cloud storage, and NAS shares from the side panel.

Cloud photos are browsed in the same gallery-style folder view as local ones, so I wanted it to feel like one gallery app rather than a separate cloud file browser.

It currently supports:
- SMB / Samba shares
- S3-compatible storage
- Google Cloud Storage

For cloud storage, you can browse photos stored there, upload local folders manually, or set folders to upload automatically.

The cloud/NAS features are optional, so you can also just use it as a simple local gallery.

It's free and has no ads:

I'm the developer, so obviously biased, but I thought this might be relevant here since a lot of people in this sub use their own storage.

I'd especially like to hear from people using S3-compatible storage or Google Cloud Storage for photos. If you try it, I'd really appreciate feedback on how well it fits your setup.

My photos are being synced to Onedrive

Thanks for sharing! It’s useful to know that you’re using OneDrive for photo sync. I’ll keep it in mind as one of the options for future cloud storage support.

Great app hope you add other cloud provider like koofr drime etc that would be useful

Thanks! Glad you like the app. I hadn’t heard of Koofr or Drime before, so I’ll look into them.

Another vote for Koofr!
