I would like to back up the photos I have on my iPhone to an external sandisk ssd drive, I have a macbook but it doesn't have enough space to hold all my photos to transfer the photos to the external drive. How can I transfer all the photos from the iPhone to the drive without the possibility of transferring 1,000 photos at a time.
All at once.
Thanks to all community members who answer
iPhone 5, iOS 10
Thanks, but I don't have enough space on my computer to download the pictures to
Verbatim and Sans Disk offer OTG thumb drives that connect to iPhones. Be sure to get one that works for your iPhone. If you have an iPhone 5, a lightning connector on the thumb drive will help.
You should get two of those thumb drives in case your iPhone breaks down.

You are welcome.
Use the Photos App:
Enable Photos in iCloud Setting on your Mac. Then, plug the Hard Drive into your Mac. Then, through use of a Finder window Drag & Drop it all from the Photos app into the Hard Drive.

Using the words "plug the Hard Drive into your Mac" I am referring to an external hard drive:

Transferring Photos from Phone to External Hard Drive:
If you wanted to, you could upload these to iCloud, and then plug in the external drive tot he computer. From there, Drag & drop these to the external drive, through use of the Photos app and a Finder window. Given 5GB is not enough, it wouldn't be uploaded and then transferred all at once. So, if you want to use iCloud Plan for a bit, then consider upgrading your iCloud Storage Plan and perform the same transfer method.
Thank you for the answer.

Just to see if anything has changed.
I would like to move all the photos on my iPhone directly to an external hard drive.
No passing through iCloud, Photo Library etc. as I have not enough free space on any of those.
When I
all the options in "Export" are greyed out.
Is this possible ?
Thank you for the answer
