Hi everyone, I have a question!
Is it possible to let the Photos app automatically sync with the Photos folder (or any other folder) on my Macbook? I keep forgetting to import new photos and videos into the Photos app, so it'd be nice that could be done automatically when I put them in the folder..
Thanks in advance!
MacBook Pro with Retina display, macOS Sierra (10.12.4)
You could try to add folder action to the folder where you drop your photos. This would import all new photos to Photos:
Automator has a template to create folder Action.
Create a new Automator workflow using the "folder Action"template:
In the title bar select the folder you want to watch. Then drag an Action "Import files into Photos" from the library of actions into the workflow.
Save the workflow. Run the workflow once. Whenever you now add an image file to the folder you are watching, it will automatically be imported to Photos.
Thank you so much, this worked!!
Great! You're welcome 🙂
