Apple iCloud is an excellent solution if you’re an iOS/macOS users and want to keep photos within the Apple ecosystem. Google Photos offers unlimited free photo storage, if you’re okay with slightly compressing your photos. Amazon Photos is your best bet if you’re already an Amazon Prime member.

Answer: A: Answer: A: You can have multiple libraries. Hold the option (or alt) key when launching Photos and in the resulting menu you can create or choose between different libraries.

In Photos > Preferences > iCloud, you can enable Optimize Mac Storage, which swaps the full-resolution images for smaller versions, saving a boatload of space. In other words, this allows the thumbnail of your photo to display, but keeps the larger full-sized image in the cloud.

Reduce the size of your photo library

1. Go to Settings > [your name], then tap iCloud.
2. Tap Manage Storage.
3. Tap Backups.
4. Tap the name of the device you’re using, then look at Photos.

Apple did not publish a size limit, but since Photos is supposed to be able to open Aperture Libraries and iPhoto Libraries, it should be able to handle libraries with 1000000 photos, if the drive with the library is large enough and you have enough free working storage on your system drive.

macOS can help make more room on your Mac by optimising its storage. Files don’t take up space on your Mac, and you can download the original files when you need them. Recent files and optimised versions of your photos are always on your Mac.
