Hi Gary, I am using an older Mac with “only” 80 gig hard drive. Operating system is 10.11.6. When the conversion from iPhoto happened, my pictures took over my computer and I now have less than 1 gig left. I preferred the old way of transfer using a physical connection to Image Capture to transfer to an external drive. Now with iCloud, I can’t do that. Neither can I download from the cloud anywhere but my hard drive (which doesn’t have room). I’m afraid of losing data but something must be done. Is there a solution? I realize that performance will be slower but I need the computer for other things as well. I’m really afraid to take ANY step until I’m certain I won’t delete data. I looked through your posts, questions and answers and I didn’t see this specifically addressed. If I’ve missed it, please feel free to direct me to that conversation. Many thanks.
