iCloud syncing and Photos Library compatability
Hi,
I have a Photos Library (MacOS 15.0.1) which is too big to store on my MacBook Pro. I would love to take advantage of the iCloud syncing. I have an older iMac (from 2017, limited to MacOS 13.7), which i was thinking i could use as a hub for storing the photos on (the photos located on a connected external drive). My thought was that it would always be on, and therefore always syncing (which would be a plus).
The problem is that the iMac cannot update to an OS where it would be compatible with the newer Photos Library. Could i somehow make the Photos Library compatible, so i would be able to sync across devices through the iMac with the older MacOS (without taking space on my MacBook and e.g. iPhone)? And would it even work if i could make the library compatible (to e.g. browse the library on the MacBook, even though it is stored on the external drive connected to the older iMac)?
MacBook Pro 14″, macOS 15.0
