Hi, If both your iPhone and Mac have photos syncing to iCloud, then use the Photos Library on your Mac. When in the Finder, go to your Home directory, into Pictures and copy the Photos Library to your external drive. It's possible that, if your Mac is set to "Optimize" your Photos Library, not all full quality originals are stored on your Mac, so you may not be archiving the full quality version of a photo. If your Mac has enough room, you can set the Photos service to keep all full quality originals on your Mac as well as in iCloud, then when you archive things, you should have the entire picture, so to speak.

I know that I have my photos synched through iCloud. But I’d like also to capture them to my external archive drive. When I connect my iPhone to the Mac, nothing happens, and that makes sense since photos are already backed up to the cloud. How do I get all my photos off the iPhone and stored to my archive drive on the Mac, like it used to happen on my Windows PC? Or is that possible at all?
