?I usually get a little flag in the corner of my iMac’s screen, asking whether I want it in Photos or just accepted; I usually choose Photos because, if it goes elsewhere, I can’t find it. ?I don’t use the cloud at all, other than with AirDrop. With digital, though, how come there is an “original”? That is something I can’t get my head around. Why can’t my iPhone just behave like a camera, when I take a photo? ?:D

When you are airdropping is it going just into your downloads folder or is it going into the Photos program and being catalogued ? If its going into Photos then yes it would probably be accessible on everything else if its going to the cloud.

The original would be wherever you put it first I imagine.

I thought taking photos with my phone would be simple. ?I take the pic, use AirDrop to transfer it to my 16in MacBook Pro, running Catalina, also, separately, to my 27in iMac that runs High Sierra. I then drag and drop, from whichever Mac I am using, onto our Primary network drive.

The problem starts when I try to copy from either Mac to post it on Facebook. I get told that the original cannot be found, so I can’t copy the copy that I want to copy! If I use my digital camera and do the same thing, it works without complaining. Do you have any ideas what I am doing wrong?
