Cloud Storage for Photos
Some additional information specific to iCloud Photos:
- iCloud Photos is able to detect duplicate photos. Look under Utilities > Duplicates and select Merge to eliminate the duplicates. This will keep the higher resolution version of the photo, and will merge metadata including albums, location, caption, favourites.
- If you are still using iPhotos (discontinued 10 years ago!) instead of Photos, there is an inexpensive app called PowerPhotos which will migrate you iPhotos library to Photos while keeping your albums, captions, etc. (information which is lost when you use Apple’s Import function)
