iPhone Photos Workflow

I was curious if anyone keeps all their photos on their iPhone or do they empty their phone out periodically.

My workflow is using an app on my phone and Mac called PhotoSync, all the photos and videos get sent to my computer.

From there, Hazel runs a bunch of rules for sorting and naming (screenshots, photos, videos)

Once Hazel is done doing it’s thing, all the photos get transferred to my Synology.

In case anyone is wondering, my reason for using PhotoSync is that after many tests with Apple Photos, Dropbox, Google Photos, and any other app that claims to backup your photos, there was always issues with the wrong metadata after transfer.

After transferring, I’m always in debate whether to keep the photos still or delete them. The cool thing about PhotoSync is that it recognizes whether it’s uploaded that photo before or not, which is why so far, I keep the photos on my phone after transferring. Plus, it’s nice to just flip through randomly and show people my kids and their antics lol.
