We also do the email thing but as an alias to sends it to both our inboxes. That is a great 'life hack' for flights, car rentals, reservations, important purchases, etc.

I purchased foldersync for android to copy nightly photos off the phones to our nas to \name\yyyymm\ to backup our photos without relying on 3rd party sync. Solves the issue of losing videos/photos if a phone breaks. http://photos/ can browse them with photoview.

For me free software is more valuable: keepass, seafile, and paperlessngx with a printer that scans to it with a button and a [e-mail] has made a huge difference particularly to be paperless and has WAF.

I purchased an airgradient indoor + outdoor after multiple plugs here and it is helpful for deciding if we should open windows as sensitive to forest fire smoke so it also counts. (I will say it had damage when it arrived and it's been annoying having to reach out a couple times to see if it can be replaced.)

Finally, I recently added lunchmoney.app for finances but time will tell if it is more than a novelty.

Why not syncthing for photo copy?

[zeagle]

I went with foldersync as it just copies to a nas SMB share so no software on the receiving end to maintain and I already have seafile for other reasons. It is also more than just a sync as rules are to exclude fairly small file size, copy at night if on home wifi, a one way copy of new files to \name\yyyymm to sort the photos on the destination end. I am not sure if syncthing can do that.
