The only way to do is to mass erase all pictures or erase 1 picture at a time in the gui.Īre you sure your photos are taking a lot of space on your iPhone? I have almost 10,000 photos on my iPhone and they only take up about 5.5GB. So if I go into the file system and try to delete multiple file, I am told that it is locked. Just sharing if it’s relevant.Ĭome to think of it, the difficult part is not copying the pictures over, but when you try to delete it to clear space. It will automatically be placed in my Drive or a specified folder and never be stored on my phone. Sometimes if I never want the photo on my phone I’ll open the Google Drive App, and take a photo from there. I take tons of videos and photos everyday (I’m a teacher and use them as teaching tools) and clear out my phone about once a week after backing it up. If it does, click on it (in the sidebar) and “photos” should display all the photos and movies in your phone, along with a couple import options at the top of the screen. If “photos” doesn’t start up after plugging in your phone then try searching for the “photos” app and see if the app recognizes your device in the left-hand side bar. I don’t recall if I ever set something up that made it automatic. Mac, whatever the latest version is (I’m on my phone at the moment) it’s been that way for years for me. It’s very simple, takes only moments to complete (even with large videos), and couldn’t be easier in my opinion. Once plugged in photos.app starts up automatically and displays all the photos that are on my phone and I click “import all photos, delete photos on iPhone after importing” (or something like that, I working form memory). I have no idea what a synology server is, but in my case….
