Faking Pixel 5a - eviltoast

I’ve read on reddit that Google still provides unlimited photos backup if you own Pixel 5a and lower. On rooted Android you can fake that and get free backup storage, but who wants to give pictures to Google?! I was thinking if it’s possible or done by someone to create an environment on Docker by faking device info to access that free storage and backup rclone crypted files as images (by .jpeg fake extension or something)?

    Look into self hosting

    Setup seafile for normal dropbox like functionality and immich for photogallerly.

    In the end , after alk rhe effort to trick Google, all your shit aill still be on google.

    MiniPCs are quite cheap now on Alibaba or Amazon etc. Wait for a sale on a large HD abd you’re good to go.
