    My iphone has very limited free space, and I am looking for a cloud where I can save photos, safely store them there or save to my ext hard drive, and then delete from my phone.

    Aperture to Photos – success story (long)

    I have been loyal Aperture user since the beginning and still cannot forgive Apple ditching it.. This is the story of migrating 50k+ RAWs (~1TB) into Photos. I've decided to share it as there are still many looking for Aperture alternative. Natural direction for most is Lightroom (which I truly...

    DAM Photo editor

    So, it's nearly time to move on from Aperture... There are a number of photo editors popping up, and they all look quite capable, but there's not much talk of DAM. Can anyone recommend an Aperture replacement with good DAM that can be purchased outright? It doesn't have to have PS-like...

    Combined | iCloud photo sync issues on X

    Got two phone Xs this morning, one for me and one for my wife. I setup mine as brand new, she restored a backup but neither of them download photos from iCloud. I've tried turning iCloud photos off/on, reboot etc but nothing makes it start up. I'm on WiFi. Any ideas?

    iPhone X Photo Sync/Backup Issue

    So I restored my X from the Cloud and while I lost everything from during the 6 hour or so Activation debacle, all else was good. Well except that I had no photos. I thought it was just taking forever, but it turns out my silly self turned off Photo sync a while back to save cloud space. I...

    Photos.app how to remove downloads?

    Hi all! Been wondering about this for a while. Photos is supposed to shrink its library automatically when "Optimize Mac Storage" option is set. But I have two users on my machine and a large library on one user does not shrink when the other user runs low on space. So, is there a way to...

    What's my Photos library size and how do I get it into iCloud?

    How do I determine the actual size of my Photos library? I've got a 144GB iPhoto library and a 161GB Photos library on my hard drive, suggesting 300GB of Photos. But within the Photos app, Info says I have 113GB GB of photos. Photos uploaded 80GB of photos into my 200GB iCloud family account...

    iPhoto... supported but for how long?

    We use iPhoto to manage our 50k+ photo library for our small business. Putting aside all of the 'you need to face change...' arguments etc the simple fact is that Photos may be useful for people who's world revolves around the iOS & iCloud but there are people like us, who have been using...

It's gone back to normal, but it there any reason this would have happened? Is this a strange iOS bug?No photos were lost...

    iPhone iOS 11 Photos offloading WAY too aggressively

    Anybody else notice a change in Photos storage optimization since iOS 11? I have a pretty big iCloud Photos library, about 170GB, and so of course I have "optimize phone storage" turned on. It's worked really well for me in the past, and I love having all those photos available. The full...
