Right, let’s see if I can address some points here:
Yes this is definately a (further) reason to avoid Imgur, and any similar concept.
I’m still working on this. I downloaded my entire image collection from Imgur. Around 800 images and 250MB. Now that will be a long day of re-pasting images, when I work out what my new system will be.
There is that app SyncThing which I believe you can use to encrypted sync folders between devices.
Thanks for your suggestions @bryan00, when I work out my new system I will be posting my workflow in a new thread
Thanks all
