But if I choose only that, how do I know the Google Photos Backup app will pull photos from "Photos Library"? But the Google Photos Backup app foolishly asks to import ONLY from " iPhoto Library." True, it also has a checkbox for " Pictures", which I assume means /pictures. Hence, all my photos are actually in " Photos Library". ![]() I know this to be true because if I launch iPhoto, I don't see any new photos that appear in the Photos app - only my photos prior to using the Photos app. All my new photos since then are now stored in /pictures/Photos Library, not in the old /pictures/iPhoto Library. I upgraded (downgraded?) to Photos (from iPhoto) a couple weeks ago. (And no, that doesn't bother me because the best camera I have is a Lumix GX-7 which is 16MP, so my photos will NOT be down-scaled, and my 1080p videos, will not be altered either.)īut I haven't clicked the " Start Backup" button on that dialog yet. When I launch Google Photos Backup on my iMac, it shows me a dialog that says:Īnd at the bottom I have " High quality" chosen, of course, so as to get the free unlimited storage plan. But when you download it, the name appearing on your Mac is in fact " Google Photos Backup". ![]() When I access, the app (in "App Downloads") is named " Desktop Uploader". ![]() I am trying to use it now, but it is confusing me.įirst of all, let's talk about app naming.
