Moving from Downloads to Photos, etc.

Hi

Airdropping is the least useful way to transfer images.

You can either use iCloud to sync your libraries between phone and mac - but then you need to pay for a plan big enough for your whole library, or you can connect your phone with USB, and sync from within the photos app directly from the phone.

see:

Transfer photos and videos from your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch to your Mac or PC – Apple Support (UK)

Open the Downloads folder. Select the images as a batch. Do Edit/Copy, and then open your Photos library and Edit/Paste them in as a batch.

Actually, I use Air Drop almost exclusively to transfer photos. -- usually less than 20 at a time. I am sure it would work for more. Happens in an instant. No size limitation. All data transfers (as far as I know). For a really massive transfer or to transfer your whole library, the Cloud would be more useful.
