Guys - I take a lot of photos, mostly just family and vacations but have a pretty big collection of photos and some long 2-3 min videos but a ton of them and many are 4k. Total size today is 3TB but growing by 200gb every year. All were taken using mirrorless cameras, iPhone & Android phones. I was initially considering just using Photosync to save the original nature of my files (ex-Windows mindset) but I know I'll be missing a lot of organization features of Apple Photos like tagging and keyword searches for a place or person. I'd appreciate if somebody can answer a few questions for me
- What's maximum size of a photo library you'd recommend against exceeding? I'm open to multiple libraries but defeats the purpose of doing a search for something and seeing all photos related to that in one view. Usually people do multiple libraries to separate family vs work photo
- Since I don't use iCloud or any other cloud services, I guess I can simply connect my iphone via USB-C once a month and will it only copy over the new photos since the last backup?
-After importing all photos into the library and deleting the originals, will I be able to ever export all pictures in their original format & quality to individual HEIC or JPEG files (whatever original source file was? Same question for videos as many were shot in 4k
Thanks!
