Hi there,
So I bought a used T5 from ebay to use specifically as a back up drive for my large iCloud Photo Library. Yesterday I selected a few hundred pictures starting from the beginning of my library, clicked Saved To Files, waited for them to download from the Cloud and saved them onto my drive. Seemed straight forward enough.
When I plugged the drive this morning, the folder I created was there but was empty. I repeated the process copying over 1000+ images, all seemed well, then after disconnecting and reconnecting the drive again nothing seems to be displaying in the folder.
I think that it might have been used by its original owner as an Android accessory, so I was wondering if it needs formatting - and of so can that be done on iOS. Other question is whether my workflow is the right way to do it?
Any help appreciated.
Thanks,
C.
