Maybe you should tell people it costs money to use the App you recommend we use ……..

Nice video > I have another question. How do you take a photo from an external SSD and transfer it BACK to the iphone Photos Library. ( where is the Photos library????) Thanks

i have 15, 000+ pictures/videos on my iphone that i want to transfer to an external hard drive. Downloaded mobiletrans and it seems simple. If youre in a similar situation just be aware that ITS NOT FREE! The free trial only allows you to do 20 pictures. Of course their payment options are only on a yearly basis starting at $30 a year.

Does the importing include the dates and time as well? I would like them to all be organized by date still.

It seems to me that the best and most simple way of transferring photos from iPhone to External SSD is directly. This method is at the end of the video and rushed. Please explain how to "move", step by step. Thanks. Bob

I agree. Ten years ago it used to be so easy but now, it's very difficult to transfer files/data to the external hard drives.

[johncameron]

Well done. Thank you. One question not quite answered - how to transfer AND DELETE in one step with the ramifications to iPads & iCloud. Many people are trying to manage iPhone memory. Thanks, again.

If I send my photos to a hard drive will I lose the Live Photo feature to them?

[kingk]

What he didn't mention is that mobile trans isn't free!

You left out an important caveat when you mention using image capture or the photos app to copy photos to a hard drive. Most people are using the optimize function to save storage space on their phones and computers. If they are doing that then many of the images on those devices are saved only as thumbnails and when they transfer them to the hard drive they will only be saving a thumbnail, not the original image file. That would create a nearly useless backup. I have never used mobiletrans but I would be that this would run into the same problem. You need to warn people about these shortcomings. The only safe way to get all of your data and original files is to download them from iCloud (max 1, 000 at a time) or if you have enough space on your device you can turn off image optimization and download all the original files to your device, then use one of the methods you decribe for transfering images from your device to the hard drive

Wow. Lost count of how many different ways you said it isn't easy to transfer photos from an Iphone. We got it the first time, plus that fact is the reason we are here in the first place.

Does anyone know how to select your external hard drive as the saving destination? ive been trying to do this for 2 days! please help!

[vincentpopovski]

I tried the drag and drop method and kept receiving errors. Now I tried the Photos App and still receiving an error. Both methods start but then receive and error after a few files transferred.

How do I do this without downloading a third party software?

[lofocky]

Can i transfer photos, photo folders that i have on iphone and this "system" of recognizing portraits of people in photos, map - geolocalization where photos were taken etc. to computer / external disk? Archivization of photos and making them searchable by so many filters is great option on Iphone, but how to keep it when phots are transfferd to Macbook / external disk? As Iphones and I Cloud are not offering big enough cloud. Is there a way, a program on mac computer to explore photos the same way it was organized on Iphone?

[asadibic]

it just doesn't start exporting when I click on Export and select the folder in the hard drive.

[aliamor]

Im having a hard time cause there is a whopping 13, 000 pictures on my phone that Im trying to move to an external hard drive. Is this do-able all in one go? Or do I have to export them in groups? Whats the easiest way.

How do I transfer videos from iPhone to a external hard drive or usb stick without losing the file quality. iPhone will compress the video file before transferring it out to file and iCloud. Most of my video files are in 4K.

[kumbalife]

Is it harmful for any device to connect iphone (lightning) directly with SSD ( usb-c ) with 1 cable, without connection of a pc/ mac, which i do not have ??

[patriciacanelas]

Will that app work with 29.000 photos? Every other option does not work and the main problem seems to be iCloud. I bought a sandisk - doesn’t work because I can’t download the actual photos onto my phone because I have no storage. The DCIM folder option doesn’t work either because when I click on it it’s empty and this is due to iCloud. The windows one doesn’t work also, for the same reason. I’m really stuck! Help please!!!😩
