I’m trying to reign in my iOS camera roll and I figured it would be easier on desktop. Turns out the Photos app suuuuuuucks. All I want is to categorize photos by tag or folder and then remove them from the main view. Albums are nice in theory but they’re an extra click/tap away from the home screen and don’t hide photos from the camera roll. Is there a better way to do this?

Photos will automatically categorize pictures by person, place, thing, etc… I never bother making folders or albums because I can just search by date or place or “black cat” or whatever. If the system can’t figure it out on its own you can easily multi-select a bunch of pictures and add keywords, which can then be searched. If you really don’t want to see the whole unfiltered camera roll ever you can just stay away from the library entry. If you are in “My Albums”, for instance, and quit the app, when you come back you’ll still be there.
I guess I don’t really understand what you’re looking for.
I purchased a basic Synology NAS. Works great, automatically backs up photos on ios, has tags, folders, map view and facial recognition.
I’m also using it on my Synology nas. works awesome!
I do too, but is there a way to upload images as heic directly? The Live Photo is always uploaded as a jpeg + mov
Google photos
I’ve been doing the same. I guess we are both assholes 🤷♂️
They hated Jesus for he told them the truth.
Haha people do not like that here, although it has to be the most poplar option
Sad if true 🥲
I have 5 family members using Synology Photos (on a 4-bay Synology NAS) and it’s a great solution for us.
I don’t see myself going back to a cloud-based solution - this one is easy for me and secure.
I’ve got SHR running on my storage, and daily offsite backup to another family member’s house (protects against house fire etc for loss of 20yr+ of photos and videos).
Once you offload from your phone, you can pare down the photos remaining on the phone to whatever you want to be left.
Nextcloud on my NAS and Google Photos
Try iMazing, I’ve had luck with 47k photos https://imazing.com/iphone-file-transfer
Use PhotoSync to transfer your iOS photos to a nas, desktop, or cloud service of your choice. Done.
