@BenRiceM @caseyliss you can use photos with a library on an external drive and sync it to iCloud. I do it.

@Geoffairey @caseyliss True, but I’d have to buy an SSD larger than 2TB, or use a HDD, which would be painfully slow

Edit: I did include that in a long list of all the pros and cons of each option in the first draft, but it didn’t seem as nice to read

@BenRiceM @Geoffairey @caseyliss And also you can’t access Photos on that machine if your laptop is away from the HDD, right?

And can you just un-hub and go or do you need to close Photos and unmount drives? Is that still a thing?

@henrik @Geoffairey @caseyliss thankfully my laptop isn’t my main machine, so it is happily set to Optimise Storage.

But Lightroom (and Aperture back in the day) handled ejecting the drive pretty smoothly
