Pick Damselfly if…
Damselfly suits people who want to manage and search a large folder-based photo library on their own server. It may be a fit for users comfortable enabling authentication and, especially for non-Docker installs, handling expert-level setup.
Pick Google Photos if…
Google Photos suits people who want cloud backup and organization across mobile and desktop devices. It can also suit households sharing storage, though paid plans and the free allowance span Google Photos, Gmail and Drive.
