Hello,

I just got a new lovely macbook pro 13, maxed out... I want to have the new laptop be the main computer for my Photos library (I am keeping my old mac as a media server and so the itunes and movie library remains on the old computer).

How to most reliably change the location of my "main" photos library? I use icloud with 2tb of storage.

When I look at my old computer's photo library it is 390 gb, the library on my new laptop is 342. Is it slowly syncing and not yet finished?

Where is the setting for downloading all or only downloading when needed, the photos in the icloud photos library?

Thanks!
richard
