I have bought and set up a Synology network drive (DS220j) mainly for storing and managing family photos that come from phone backups and syncs by my wife, myself and our kids.
First i made two user accounts, one for my wife, one for me.
My wife backuped her previous phone camera photos to the the network drive (not an active synchronization, just a single action backup) and all the photos appeared in her Synology Photos app environment as intended but i did not appear to be able to manage the photo collections from my photos account app, i could see and download the photos via shared folders but that was about it, the shared photos didnt even show up in the AI albums. We both want to be able to fully manage the photos we both move to the network drive via photos but that isn't working.
So now i think we need one "family" account and both sign into that family account to add and manage the family photos.
But we also both have non family related photos (Woodworking, architecture, animal photos) we want to backup and manage in the photos app but not have those pictures mixed in the family photos environment. (we are streaming the family photos to a tablet)
Creating three accounts, a family user account and a wife user account and a myself user account crossed my mind. But i also though i need a user account per photos subject. Family, woodworking, archtecture, wife backup, my backup etc. But both don't feel like the right thing to do. I feel like i am thinking in the wrong direction. Am i suppose to addres this differently? like in folder structure instead of user accounts or something like that?
So now im completely stuck in trying to figure out how to manage different subjects of photos from different users that should be managed by multiple users.
What is the right approach here?
