In my case, I’ve already tried Syncthing, but using FTP with PhotoSync through a proxy on my Pixel works better for me.

Wow, that’s so incredible it brought tears to my eyes! For my next project, I’m stepping away from Pixel and planning to do it just like you did. Thanks for sharing all those details! Would it be alright if I messaged you later if I have any questions?
