Hi, I'm trying to free up storage space on iCloud by moving at least half or more photos in iCloud into my MacBook Pro photo app, which is empty.
Also would like to then transfer them from my MacBook Pro to an external drive.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated !
MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.6
If you sync Photos to iCloud, then anything you do in either location will be reflected in both.
It sounds like your best course of action is to:
Open Photos
Enable iCloud photos to sync (Photos > preferences > iCloud)
Let the system sync.
Drag any photos you wish to remove to external storage out of photos.

can I safely delete photos stored in iCloud in order to free up storage once the photos are saved in my MacBook Pro Photos?
