The easiest way is via iCloud, but if you don't store your photos in iCloud one way would be via the Documents (by Readle) app.
From there you can have full access to your photos library My Files->Photo Albums. You can copy the photos you want to transfer to a new folder inside the Documents directory and can connect to your computer via usb or wifi to transfer the files. File transfer via the web browser is pretty fast. You access your documents folders on your Mac via safari. There's a "..." menu in the top right inside the iOS documents app.
Copying the photos won't (at least shouldn't) take up much storage as the file system doesn't duplicate the actual data.
Probably best to try it with a subset of your photos first.
Or use FE FileExplorer... similar to Documents. Can do the same.
Yeah it's not the best. It used to be a lot easier to use, they've kind of ruined it in some ways. It can still be useful though.
As for connecting to the computer, use the "..." menu and you can connect via https://localhost and type in a confirmation code and then you get access via any browser, Mac or PC.
Cool that FE File Explorer works. May have to check it out if I ever need something like that. I just use iCloud. Paying for more storage is the easiest option for me personally and makes life so much easier it's worth the outlay.
I used to use DropBox a lot but they ruined that too. (At least a while back, the Mac app was absolute garbage, but I've left it behind no, no going back). They also switched to a corporate first functionality which ruined the brilliance of the original DropBox.
I use Photomator. Photomator has a "select all" feature and can delete photos directly from the photos album. I think it comes with a free trial. It's a very, very good app.
Thinking of which, you could also use Photomator to transfer files from your photo album to your Mac via Airdrop which is a good way to do it in smaller/album sized batches.
Another great feature of Photomator, you can choose your Photos library or any folder to browse. So you basically get the full features of the photos app without using Apple's photo library. I bought the lifetime license as I want that feature on my Mac and don't love subscriptions which basically turns it into a lightweight version of Adobe Lightroom and a replacement for Apple's long since deceased Aperture (which I really liked!).
(The Mac version doesn't yet have the feature to browse folders but it's coming soon -- I can't wait!).
This is because AirDrop uses Bluetooth for discovery, then point-to-point WiFi for data transfer. This is the direct device-to-device WiFi protocol that does not require a router or network. These features allow "Air" transfer between any two devices, regardless of their network connectivity. Unfortunately, it does require both Bluetooth and WiFi to be enabled on both devices.
Bluetooth is easy to toggle on and off. It could just be toggled on long enough for the transfer. Just sayin'.
The problem connecting to Mac with iPad and iPhone is known and here's a fix.
He'd need to enable WiFi on the Mac as well, since the Mac is on the wired LAN.
Ahh. I missed that.
Does that really matter? I would think as long as the two are on the same network by being connected to a common router that it would work anyway. They are probably on the same network or file transfers would be difficult (though not impossible).
I'm too lazy to try.
Warning. File Browser secretly mirrors all file transfers to the NSA.
What I've been saying all along about macOS -- it's like Apple took all the disadvantages of UNIX and all the disadvantages of Windows and had them have a child 😂
My understanding is that they create a separate point-to-point WiFi connection for the transfer. This is independent of any network connection. Friends can AirDrop photos between their phones, despite being on different mobile providers, etc. So it truly is an Air drop; nothing in between but air. As I described it, they use Bluetooth for discovery, because BT can broadcast to see if anyone's listening. Then they use the point-to-point WiFi link for data.
Thanks for that clarification. Very helpful, and it explains a lot about why they did it that way.
Exactly. And, in typical Apple fashion, once they decided to do it that way, that's the only way to do it. So alternative connection over a network cannot be used; it is AirPlay and that's that.
To be fair though, I'm always amazed again how FAST AirDrop is. Like, it's faster than a direct wired SATA connection almost 😂
I use the included Mac app Image Capture. It will import all the photos and even delete from the device if you want. It’s been a while but it’s free and fast
Interesting! I never knew that one existed.
