photos app

I’m looking for an app that can let me browse my iCloud Drive files in a gallery/grid view similar to the Photos app? I like to keep my drawing reference photos on iCloud Drive so I can put them into folders and use tags to better organize them. It would be awesome if the Files app had a gallery...

I got a new phone the other day and have set it up on my mac eco system at home. At this point I cant remember which settings i have changed in photos on the iphone, possibly i turned off "icloud photos" on my phone. I did this because when i opened photos for the first time on my phone i saw...

Does anyone else see this? For reference I'm on an M1 MBA. There seems to be no rhyme or reason to which photos this affects. It didn't bother me much at first until I realized they also upload to websites that way :(. Thoughts?

I have recently enabled iCloud Photos library on my iPhone and my Mac. To my surprise, I noticed duplicates are generated for each picture. I sync my iPhone with Photos app on Mac by opening it and importing pictures. Could this be the reason? I remember there was a way to just sync select...

On my iPhone 7 I have Photos turned on in iCloud setting (with "Optimize iPhone Storage" ON because my 32GB iPhone does not have enough room to store originals). On my MacBook Pro (Mojave) I have iCloud turned OFF (because I want to be able to be selective about which images I import to my...

Hello! I noticed a weird problem today that never happened to me on all my previous iPhones. I started shooting on pro max and noticed that the final image on a screen in photos app looks somewhat darker, earthier and more contrast than usual. and then I found out that when opening the...

Hi, I wrote a small command to "sync" the Photos.app Masters folder with a "normally" accessible folder (Pictures/iPhone), something like: alias Synciphone='find ~/Pictures/Photos\ Library.photoslibrary/Masters -type f -ls -exec cp -pn {} ~/Pictures/iPhone/ \;' I'm using Catalina PB build...

Hi, yesterday I realized a strange behavior of my iPhone and I am not sure if this is intentional or a bug. I did some google research but couldn't find anything. I am right now on vacation and I take a lot of videos on my iPhone (64GB), naturally videos take up a lot of space. Thats why I...

I know that, in theory, one can just drag the photos library to an external disk (just dragging across the Photos package). Photos is running fine on my Mac but it has gotten too large and I need to move it. When I try to do so I get a -43 error and it won't copy. This is on OS X 10.10.5...
