And there are others Photos is sorta designed for a narrower use range and especially for those that use iCloud and iOS devices.
#MYLIO AND NAS FULL#
Or Mylio, which lets you sync different sizes of images from thumbnail to full copy across all sorts of devices, from PCs to NAS to mobile devices and so on. You can take smart previews with you on the laptop to edit the images you left behind at home on the NAS or external they take up less space and work just as well for editing, adjusting, etc.
Lightroom has more flexibility in storage people often keep some photos local, some on NAS or externals, and the catalog on the boot drive. Some NAS setups can also be shared over the internet that might solve your remote access problem.įourth, you might be outgrowing Photos. Third, why NAS? You might be better off with an external, or even thumbdrive or card as noted elsewhere. So the idea that you can "watch" them on other devices may be affected, depending on how you share them. You could even use more than one Photos library. Second, are you making use of iCloud Photo Library? You could reference photos instead of storing them in a managed Photos library. While that 1TB TM drive might have worked up until now, it's gonna be inadequate when you start storing photos externally pretty soon.
Oh, and one more thing: If you store the photos on the NAS as a Photos library, are you able to watch and navigate the photos from other devices, like an iPhone or a Windows PC?Ĭlick to expand.First, you've got a backup issue too. I also have a cloud service with unlimited space, that I'm backing up the photos folder on the mac to.) (Oh, by the way, I have an external 1TB hard drive which I use for Time Machine backups. So what's the best strategy for storing and working with photos, when you don't have room for them all in the internal hard drive?ĭo you keep a small library locally on the Mac, and move pictures back an forth? Do you keep the local library empty, and only use it for importing photos, and when you're done editing, you move them to the NAS? Or do you use an other processs? Please share! However, I understand that linking the Photos app to a NAS library doesn't always work seamlessly, and can mess up things in the long run. It's filling up quickly, and I am looking at getting a NAS (Synology or QNAP), and moving all my photos over there.
