30 year win user.. Photos help!

[Theninjagecko]

I’ve decided to give myself a stroke. Steve was right windows is the devil.

I’m in love with apple again.

My problem is I have almost 3 decades of photos organised in folder structures. Usually year/month. Pretty simple. Each folder holds photos and videos.

I keep a full copy of this on one drive in its full structure and a hard copy on my NAS.

I mostly just add to this and then use the one drive app on phone if I want to view anything as it does it over the internet without actually downloading anything.

I’ve never used OneDrive on the PC always used the browser to sort add photos/videos and view.

I know in photos on my MacBook I can import a folder structure but my issue is my photos album is 480gb.

What’s the best solution for me to move away from one drive and start using photos app more or is this head ache not worth it?

Thanks.

As a long time Windows user myself, I am also accustomed to photo organization on Windows. I only AirDrop photos and videos from my iPhone to my MacBook Pro and they end up on the Downloads folder.

Your options are:

• Continue using OneDrive via the browser
• Download and install the OneDrive for Mac app
• Proceed with using the Photos app in place of OneDrive

I guess if you're not in a hurry, you can proceed with your plan of migrating your photo and video library to macOS.
