My recommendation is to test on duplicates first by copying some photos from “Original” to somewhere else. Do “Get Info” on the “Original” folder to see if the file count seems right.

You will see several folders, the interesting one is the “Original” folder. Right click it and choose “Show Package Content”. On your mac, check that Photos.app setting has been Download Originals to this mac. To import from the whole Photos library might cause some duplicates. Has anyone exported their entire Photos library, and how did you accomplish it?

I’d really like the photos to be organized in a folder structure of Year > Month > Day, and with as much preserved metadata as possible. It’s only $10 per month and it looks like Adobe has made it easier to cancel.

The full app costs $50.Īnother option, and maybe it’s worth trying, is using Lightroom to export my photos. That seems to work fine, but the folders inside the package are weirdly organized. I’ve tried a few experiments with directly copying photos from the Photos Library package. The ones I have tried seem to strip out the Live Photo component, which I want to preserve. I’ve experimented with the trial version of Photos Takeout, but it’s frustrating since you can’t choose which photos to export. Photos freezes up and I get an “out of memory” error despite have 40 GB of RAM and 100 GB of SSD free. It works fine for transferring recent images to my Synology, but gets stuck when trying to import older photos from iCloud Photos.Įxporting from Photos totally fails when trying to do my whole library. The Synology Photos app on the iPhone and iPad. Here are some things I have tried, none of them work perfectly: I want to export my Apple Photos library to a standard, browsable folder structure on my Synology NAS.
