How can I upload photos to onedrive or another cloud service online?

Use "File > Export > Export ...unmodified original files" to export the original image to folders on your external drive, and upload the files from there. If you want to export your edited photos as well, use also "File > Export > Export ...photos".

Dragging and dropping to the Finder would not give you enough control over the quality of the exported images.

So I can save files on the hdd with my photos library on it and it won't affect anything?

If you don't accidentally overwrite your Photos Library and have enough free storage on that drive, yes. You may want to create a new folder on your drive, where you export the photos to.

Hi,

I’m from PicBackMan team, we have our product named ‘PicBackMan’ (www.picbackman.com) which will allow you to upload your Apple Photos or iPhoto library to OneDrive.

You need to go through following steps:

1.Download & install PicBackMan into your Mac.
2).Once registration done, go to ‘Account’ tab of the application.
3).Connect your OneDrive account. (We use oAuth)
4).Go to ‘Photo’ tab, click on ‘Associate Apple Photos’ button.
5).Go to Apple Photos location and select/click on the icon of Apple Photos.
6).Check the checkbox corresponds to OneDrive. Hit ‘Upload’ button.
7).PicBackMan will pick up all your files and upload them to OneDrive automatically.

You need not to extract or export folders from Photos library. Just select the whole library.

Note: PicBackMan will create the same folder hierarchy on OneDrive according to your Photos library structure.

But Photos will no longer. Be able to work with this library, right?
