MACOS PHOTOS LIBRARY LOCATION MAC
Mac 911 cannot reply to email with troubleshooting advice nor can we publish answers to every question. If not, we’re always looking for new problems to solve! Email yours to including screen captures as appropriate. We’ve compiled a list of the most commonly asked questions we get, and the answers to them: read our super FAQ to see if you’re covered. These locations were discovered in the developer beta of macOS Catalina, so it’s possible they may change in the future.

Syncing can take a long time over a modest broadband connection if you have tens of gigabytes stored in your iCloud Photo Library. You can choose a new library for Photos at launch. In the iCloud tab, you can now check iCloud Photo Library, and opt between optimized and full-resolution media.Once the new library appears, choose Photos > Preferences, and then in the General tab click Use as System Photo Library.Create a new library (click Create New Library) and save it at whatever drive location you want.On your Mac, hold down the Option key while launching Photos.When you select a library, its location on. (Log in via a web browser to make sure and that the photos and movies are still there.) If Photos detects any iPhoto or Aperture libraries on your Mac, then this is the first screen you see. Make sure you’re logged into the same iCloud account as your iCloud Photo Library.
