I will not use iCloud. I do not want to ever use the Photos or iPhoto interface to get at my photos. I just want the damned files.
Apparently the "autoimport" option in Image Capture is gone now. So how do I make this happen?

Dropbox used to offer this. With today's announcement of Carousel's being deprecated, I'm not sure where that leaves it.
Dropbox can also eat a dick. If I wanted my photos on a network store, I'd just use iCloud.
Not if you cared about being able to retrieve your photos later in time. Opinions about cloud services in general aside, Dropbox "just works" in ways that iCloud has failed in hilarious / depressing ways.
I am glad you think Dropbox is awesome. I thought I was clear that I am utterly uninterested in putting my photos in the clown.
I hate putting things in the clown as well. It's really not how you want things to go.
What I do is have my phone automatically upload photos and videos to Dropbox, and then my PC automatically copies them to local storage. So even if someone took my phone and got into my Dropbox, I'd still have copies.
I would much rather have it upload directly to my PC instead of using a middleclown, but I haven't got around to setting that up.
Fellow Carousel user here. Dropbox.app did this before Carousel, and that functionality will probably (based on what they're saying) merge back into the main application.
I have 10.11 and have the "auto importer" at the bottom of the list what to do when connecting in Image Capture. It does reset your preference after doing the 10.10 to 10.11 upgrade.
Oh, THERE it is!
It was hidden, and I didn't even notice that disclosure triangle. Thanks.
Where is it exactly? "the list" is a bit ambiguous. Is it in Image Capture?
Image Capture, bottom left of the window, there's a tiny disclosure triangle. Click it and the "Connecting this iPhone opens: [AutoImporter]" option becomes visible.
Oh excellent - thanks. I have a small number of clients (local IT support for ordinary people, that's me) who use iTunes and iPhones, and I'm usually quite clueless about fruit-related hardware. Filing this HOWTO for future reuse.
Jesus. 10.12 is going to only disclose it with the command, fn and power keys depressed, after an electric shock from the haptic controller.
WTF is wrong with Apple the last few years? Never mind, that isn't even rhetorical.
There's an article about it here:

I use syncthing for this on android. I believe there is an iOS version.
The git annex assistant can do that. http://git-annex.branchable.com/assistant/
