How do I move photos from my iMac onto my iPhone so that I can upload them to Instagram?
As a photographer my images are loaded and stored on my iMac, but I wish to use Instagram as a social media outlet for my images.
iPhone 6, iOS 12
You can use AirDrop for any content, including photos. In Finder, open the folder with the photos, Select a photo or photos, then click on the Share icon (that’s the square with the up arrow) and choose AirDrop. Before you do that on the phone go to Settings/General/AirDrop and make sure it is on.

The easiest way is to enable iCloud Photos on both your Mac and your iPhone. If it is only selected photos you want to move to the iPhone use AirDrop.
I guess the best way to transfer photos from your Mac to iPhone is to airdrop, then move the photos to the album you've created
Thank you for responding Lawrence. I only want to "sync" images from a folder on my hard drive. Definitely not all photos. I looked at Airdrop on my top menu bar and it appears to be just for contacts (which sync automatically between IMac and iPhone. Please advise.
Many Thanks Richard
My iPhone is connected to the iMac by USB. I do see the iPhone in Finder. I do not believe that iCloud Photos is switched on.
I have created an Album in "Photos" for the images I wish to transfer (and will add to this from time to time).
"Sync photos from your device is ticked and set to Photos. Sync I have chosen selected albums. In the list of albums I have ticked the album from "Photos" on iMac. I hit the "Sync" button. it says it is syncing step 5 of 6. But not his is downloaded.
Please advise
Many Thanks Richard
