Hi I have a macbook pro with 256GB storage. Unfortunately it has only 6GB available and half of the storage is used by photos. I dont want any photos on the mac. I have icloud and want the pics there so that i can view it when i want using phone or browser.
How do i make sure all photos on mac are synced to icloud and then remove then from mac to free up space.
if you are running low on space, you can purchase an external HDD or SSD of sufficient capacity and move your larger files (videos, pictures, documents, etc...) to it. once they are on the EHD, you can simply erase the same files from your internal drive. and, if it's just going to be used for storage, you can use an HDD and save a few bucks over the cost of an SSD. FWIW, i personally keep very little on my internal drive.
