Mine and my partner's Photos libraries are each around 350GB in size. Because I am downgrading my iCloud storage, I want to export all the downloaded originals from Photos to an external drive. ('Download Originals to this Mac' is selected in Photos settings). The library files are already backed up with Time Machine, but I also want the original image files in a separate volume.
With both libraries, I have only managed to export approximately two thirds of each library before reaching a certain point when the export fails, and the app hangs, forcing a Force Quit. Has anyone else experienced this with Photos on Sonoma?
