Q: iMac Setup & Photos
Hi all,
New MAC owner (3 days) and I wonder if I might ask for some help.
I have around 20,000 photos stored on my Windows PC. I store these in the following file strucutre:-
Pictures/Year/Month/Event (So there are lots of folders.)
I have imported everything onto my Mac in the pictures folder but done nothing else. I have 2 users (myself as the admin and my wife).
What I want to do is:-
1) Be able to view all of the pictures in both profiles but retain the current folder structure I have.
2) Ensure that any changes made in one profile are replicated in another.
I don't use iCloud for my pictures (mainly because I'm not really understanding what it does for photos other than back-up) and wonder if this may be the issue.
I'm also not sure how the Photos app works as when I tried importing a couple of pictures it seemed to show everything regardless of year / folder etc.
I'd be grateful for any help as after a couple of days searching videos and web pages I feel as confused as when I started.
Stu
iMac, OS X Yosemite (10.10.5)
