![]() In your iPhone settings you can turn on ‘Optimise iPhone Storage’ which replaces photos in your camera roll with an optimised version, and saves the original in iCloud. Tip: Be careful with optimising iPhone storage I could have done that after step 1, but I prefer to do it this way. Now that my iPhone photos are safely stored and organised in my Lightroom library I can delete the photos on my phone. Step 4: Delete the photos in Camera Roll on your phone And then fill in the exact name of your phone (if you’re not sure, check the meta data).In Lightroom go to Collections > Create Smart Collection….Therefor I want to easily access my imported iPhone photos so I can delete them or add them to other collections in Lightroom. Plus I want photos of a specific event – let’s say a holiday – to be in the same collection as the other photos I took of that event with my DSLR. I probably don’t want to keep all of my imported iPhone photos. Step 3: Create Smart Folder in Lightroom for iPhone photos What’s great is that this empties the Camera Upload folder in Dropbox, always leaving enough space for new photos. Lightroom now automatically looks for new photos in the Camera Upload folder and moves them to the folder on your computer or hard drive that you’ve set up. Choose Destination: where you want your photos to be stored.Choose your Watched Folder: Dropbox/Camera Uploads.Go to File > Auto Import > Auto Import Settings.Go to File > Auto Import > Enable Auto Import.This folder will be the Dropbox Camera Upload folder, which is why you need to have Dropbox installed on your computer. For this you need to enable auto import and tell Lightroom which folder to watch for new photos. The next step is that we want to move the photos from the Dropbox folder to our Lightroom library. The app will now start backing up your camera roll. Your photos are now safe in your Dropbox folder. But when you delete a photo from your iPhone library it won’t delete it from the back-up. Why is this important? After Dropbox has completed the back-up you can see these photos on your computer, online or anywhere else. It will sync with all other devices that have Dropbox installed, but doesn’t touch your iPhone library. Lightroom (I’m using Adobe Lightroom CC)ĭropbox has a feature called Camera Upload which automatically creates a back-up of the new photos on your phone.Dropbox app installed on your phone (I’m using an iPhone but it works with Android as well).Dropbox account (I’m using the free account with 2,5GB).My goal here is to free up space on my phone, but keep the photos that I took. Which means that when you delete a photo on one device, it gets deleted on all. While iCloud is great for having your photos on all your devices (or for when you drop your phone in the toilet…), what it does is it syncs photos. Sweet! Why not use iCloud and Photo Stream?īefore we start, I want to quickly explain why I’m not using Photo Stream and iCloud for this. So no more error messages and an organised Lightroom library. And I found it! And not only that, photos also automatically end up in my Lightroom library. This happened to me one too many times, so I figured there has to be some life hacking tip that allows me to take as many photos and videos as I want without ever running out of storage space. You carry your phone with you all the time, taking photos of every meal, every cute pink door and some selfies and then this error message pops up saying you cannot take a photo because there’s not enough available storage.
