What I really want is an easy way to browse archived photos like when I’m looking at Apple Photos. ICloud would be a good option if it did not insist on syncing all of you Mac and iOS devices. I’m just wondering what the best option is to set up set up an independent archiving source of photos, but for managing them, you see something like you see in Photos or Google Photos, but not be online, just sitting on your backed up hard drive? I tried the trial version of Photos Takeout, and it will create a folder with the year and put the photo inside which is a good first start, but I admit the best thing is seeing photos displayed in an app like Apple Photos or Google Photos, you can see the image, in most cases know who is in it, but the location feature is very handy and sometimes a name is good too. I have seen that there are apps designed to help with this like Photo Exifer or Photos Takeout. I‘ve already seen that images exported to Google Photos maintains metadata, but it appears that if I drag photos out or even use the export function of Apple Photos transferring them to just a folder, on my hard drive, that I end up with a long list of numbered photos. If you've copied the photos from your S8+ to your PC, as the first step I'd check if the metadata was retained or not.I’m interested in moving photos off of iCloud and keep the metadata, such as date and sometimes location. Either the file creation date or file modification date, I don't recall which. However, if that field is empty or doesn't exist, then it will use the file metadata instead. In my experience, iPhones will look for the date that the image was taken in the image metadata. Are you sure the photos you're syncing using iTunes still have the correct metadata? I can't do it on my current phone because I have iCloud Photo Library enabled, but I tried it on an old iPhone that I reset and it appears to have the correct timestamp. OP, I'm confused about iTunes not working. It's on the computer, great, but I could've done the same thing by plugging the S8+ into the computer and copying it over too, with much less hassle. Even if OP is able to export their entire library using Google Takeout without their metadata being fucked, it doesn't address how OP is supposed to get the photos on the iPhone. I'm a little confused as to why everyone here is so fixated on Google Photos when it seems like it requires you to follow a very specific process to not have your metadata screwed with, or it requires you to manually repair/merge the metadata yourself.ĭoes the OP not have the original photos on their S8+? Why not get it from there instead of having to go through an intermediary like Google Photos with a bunch of extra steps?įurthermore, that's only half of OP's problem. /r/AppleMusic for discussion of Apple's music streaming service./r/iOSSetups for iOS wallpapers, setups, and apps./r/iPhoneXSMax for XS Max specific issues./r/AppleSwap if you want to trade devices!.Keep an eye on temporarily free or discounted apps on /r/AppHookup!.Your iPhone broke?
