Questions about PhotoLog
What is PhotoLog?
PhotoLog is a private photo storage service that encrypts photos on the device before they leave it, then stores them privately and safely. The vendor says it does not train AIs on photos or scrape their metadata. It runs on the web, iOS and Android.
How much does PhotoLog cost?
PhotoLog's Micro Plan costs $6.99 per month, the Personal Plan $29.99 per month and the Family Plan $109.99 per month. Toolio lists a limited free option, which the reviewer describes as 2GB of free trial storage for 7 days. The reviewer also finds the pricier plans add little beyond the basic ones.
Does PhotoLog sync photos automatically?

How can you share photos with PhotoLog?
PhotoLog lets users share photos through QR codes or directly, with control over privacy settings. It also offers time-based access links and a secure mini website builder for creating private photo sites without programming skills, with access controlled by the owner.
Who is PhotoLog for?
Toolio lists PhotoLog as best for individuals, families and couples who value control over their data. It is not for businesses with large volumes. The reviewer praises its true client-side encryption and scores it 4.0 out of 5 after real use.
