Retaining folder/album structure while exporting from Mac Photos to Windows 10

Hi,

I have a Macbook Pro with all my pictures organised in folder structure and albums in the Photo application. I want to create a copy of the entire Photo Library in simple folder structure on Windows. I would like to retain the Folder structure and names of the folder while exporting.

When i export, all pictures (even when i select original format retention) gets exported from various folders/albums from MacBook Photos to a SINGLE folder on the MacBook. or Datewise folders if i choose the subfolder option.

This is really frustrating to struggle to maintain a simple event based folder structure from Photo Library to the MacBook folder

Please help

You can use the following user contributed AppleScript to export albums of images to folders with the same name as the album: Export Albums to Folders - Jacques Rioux's Script.

The script compiled as an application can be downloaded from this tutorial site: P01 - Applescripts from Photos’ User Tips Compiled as Applications. Other scripts can be found here: Thematic Index to Photos for Mac related User Tips
