Thank you for your time. The problem is I have a lot of photos each foldered in my phone with addresses. I have approximately 100,000 photos in my phone for the past 6 months. When I connect the phone, it shoes all the photos and not the folders that I have made for each groups of photos?
This is a situation that other high-volume photographers have also found themselves in.
You’re past what your own process design can support, far past what the built-in tools can reasonably provide for sorting and organization of all of these photos, and are headed for either some available photo-hosting app, or toward creating your own photo tooling for your own preferred process.
And I would not expect AirDrop to be particularly useful here generally, given the “fun” that both ad-hoc and infrastructure Wi-Fi can too often encounter.
More generally, a common mistake awaits here, too: your metadata would be best implemented within the existing or your own added EXIF metadata, but if this follows the usual pattern you’ve used file metadata (file dates) and subdirectories / folders, and things will get messy when any of that changes. Changes tend to happen when files get copied, or restored or such, for instance. EXIF metadata gets embedded in the file, and is copied around unless explicitly expunged.
I’m not particularly following apps for high-volume photography, but I expect there are existing choices here. If not, maybe Claris FileMaker can help you build your own apps and process and storage.
