Hello everyone, first post here. I am finally going all-in on Apple Photos from Google Photos and I have recently added a 2TB Seagate External drive to my 2017 MacBook Pro (latest model and OSX version).
I have all of my photos organized on a NAS (Synology) and I have created a System Photos Library on my external since my internal drive will not be big enough (300GB of photos and videos).
I imported all of my photos/videos into Photos app. It appears I have them all but the size of my Photos library only shows 28GB on the external drive (?). I made sure that "download original photo size" was checked in the preferences.
I am worried about compression and would like to have the original sizes in my local Photos library. Am I missing a critical step or not thinking about this correctly?
Thanks for the help in advance. Love the site and also enjoy watching MacBreak Weekly for the last several years.
