Sync a Photo Library across Devices

Sync photos to your device Connect your device to your Mac. You can connect your device using a USB or USB-C cable or using a Wi-Fi connection. To turn on Wi-Fi syncing, see Sync content between your Mac and iPhone or iPad over Wi-Fi. Cloud-based syncing services: Web apps like Dropbox, Apple's iCloud, and Microsoft's Live Mesh synchronize folder(s) among your devices while saving copies of the shared folders online. Changes made to files in that folder from one device automatically get updated on the others. At the last you can tick on the box in the Google Photos section to automatically scan your computer for new pictures and upload them to Google Photos. There is also an another option at the bottom of the left corner USB Devices & SD Cards which you can use to automatically upload files from your USB Flash drive or digital camera or Mobile. How Does iCloud Photos Work? ICloud is Apple's cloud-based storage facility that allows you to. Select Sync when you're asked if you want to sync your account. This syncs your favorites, passwords, and other browsing data across the devices you use with this account. Note: If you choose to sync favorites, any tabs you previously set aside will also be synced.

If you use Photos and have more than one Apple device, you may want your entire Photos library to appear on all of them. Thanks to iCloud Photo Library, this is now possible, and it's what I describe in this chapter. (To learn about My Photo Stream, which sync only recent photos among your devices, see the previous chapter, Sync Photos and Videos across Devices.)

With iCloud Photo Library, you have just one photo library, which is stored in the cloud; your individual Macs and iOS devices can store copies of all those photos (space permitting), optionally optimized to use less storage—with full-resolution originals available for download on demand. Any edits or organizational changes sync across all your devices, too (with some qualifications; see What Doesn't Sync). One catch is that depending on the size of your library, you may have to pay Apple for additional iCloud storage. (For more details and tips, see my TidBITS article iCloud Photo Library: The Missing FAQ.)

Unfortunately, Apple currently offers no good way for two or more people to keep their photo libraries in sync with each other, whether they're using the same Mac (with different user accounts) or different Macs. iCloud Family Sharing (see Share Family Photos), iCloud Photo Sharing, and third-party tools (discussed in this chapter) can partially address this problem, but with numerous qualifications.

Sync Your Photos Library

To enable iCloud Photo Library:

1. iOS: Tap Settings > iCloud > Photos and make sure iCloud Photo Library is on.

   OS X: In Photos, go to Photos > Preferences > iCloud and select iCloud Photo Library ①. How to update bluestacks.

2. To keep all your originals on the device (space permitting), leave Download Originals to this Mac (OS X) or Download and Keep Originals (iOS) selected.

   Alternatively, select Optimize Device Storage to keep smaller versions of the photos on your device to save space—the app downloads larger versions as needed.

Once you've done this on each device, photo libraries will begin syncing with each other. You can also view, upload, or download iCloud Photo Library photos in the Photos Web app on the iCloud Web site.

What Doesn't Sync

Per this Apple support article, certain kinds of metadata don't sync across devices when using iCloud Photo Library:

• Books, cards, and calendars
• Slideshows
• Keyword shortcuts and unused keywords
• The Last Import album
• Faces tiles and Faces data

Other Photos Library Syncing Options

iCloud Photo Library is the best way to sync all your photos between Macs, but there are other ways to approach the task, each with its own limitations:

• Sync user-created albums:SyncMate can sync various kinds of data between Macs, including Photos albums. But the app can sync only individual, user-created albums—not smart albums or entire libraries.
• Merge libraries:PowerPhotos lets you merge two Photos libraries (even from two different users) into a new library, maintaining albums and most metadata (see exceptions) while eliminating duplicates. Alas, this is a one-shot, manual process. It won't keep two libraries in sync; if they diverge, you must manually merge them again.

Note: Although there are ways to do some of these things with iPhoto, they're more complicated and less reliable. Since Apple is no longer distributing iPhoto, I don't cover it in this book.

Share Libraries with Others

I said Apple currently offers no good way for two people to share the same complete Photos library, but there is a way to sort of do it, as described on this Apple support page (the instructions are for iPhoto but they work for Photos too.) The workaround involves working from an external drive that other users can also access.

This method has two key limitations: How to get pokemon tcg.

• Apple recommends against using network storage, because it can lead to (among other problems) corruption and data loss. Putting it on an external drive—and, presumably, shuttling the drive between users—should work.
• Only one user can have a given library open at a time. If you try to open a library someone else is using, you'll get an error message.

In other words, this technique works reasonably well for sharing a library across user accounts on a single Mac, but poorly for any other scenario.
