Is it possible to place videos, that I’ve downloaded using Airdrop from my iPhone to my MacBook, to the rest videos that i have in Photos with their correct time/date code?
 
Just trying to find a manual way in adding videos -with correct time frame- from my iPhone to my Photos application in MacOS when downloading them via Airdrop, if im not using the Sync provided by MacOS.
 
When you AirDrop the picture, under the Options is All Photo's Data switched on?

It wasn't, but i see it now!
1. Will all this info remain if i upload the *mov file to Google Drive storage and after sometime download it to transfer it to the Photo app?
2. What do I do in order to upload the *mov file to the Photo app, so i can make it part of my whole collection?

1. I don't see why not, I assume that when the switch is off then the metadata is deliberately stripped out of the file.

2. AirDropping the file from your Mac back to your iPhone should save it back into Photo's app.

When uploading the videos back in my iPhone, although it has the time code and date that the video was shot, it doesnt remember the sequence that it was shot compared the other videos i have in it. So that sequence doesnt seem to be kept... unless theres some way to maintain that too :)
