I tried Mylo but didn't really like it so I ended up with Apple Photos.
At least they "allow" me to have a local copy of my photo library unlike Google. So in any extremely unlikely case they nuke my account, I have my locals.
- WhyNotHugo 5y agoHow did you manage to get a local copy of Apple Photos? Their API seems not designed to be publicly used, and tools like pyicloud still have their issues with some types of media.
- happynacho 5y agoPhotos app on any Mac. Download originals option.
- dustyharddrive 5y agoI’m pretty sure OP is referring to Photos for macOS Preferences > iCloud > “Download Originals to this Mac” - you can move your .photoslibrary file to an external or network drive if you need for space reasons. Then all your files can be accessed with the .photoslibrary file context menu, “Show Package Contents”, “originals” folder.
- happynacho 5y agoCorrect. There are also third party apps, like PowerPhotos, that let you access, update, move, delete the photos from the library file if you don't like going through Finder.
