Download selection from shared album

Someone created a shared album.

People added photos. I downloaded all.

Then someone adds more photos.

Now I just want to download the new ones.

I have not found a way, yet.

You can sort a shared album by the "Date added". Then select only the photos together at the end of the sorted album, that have been added after you saved the previously added photos.

  • Open the shared album in Photos for Mac.
  • Go to the menu item "View > Sort" and select "Keep sorted by newest date added"

The most recently added photos will appear at the end of the album, where you can select them together.

You're welcome, Ruud 😊


You can have two hundred shared albums. Perhaps you may want to create several smaller shared albums, that are easier to manage than one large shared album.

I am usually deleting the shared albums again, once everybody has downloaded the shared pictures and keep the shared photos in standard albums to remember what already has been shared.
