  Hi. Is there a good way of moving photos over from the Apple Photos application on a mac? Selecting photos from the the Day One application itself is fine for anything recent, but takes a long time if you’re looking at photos from a number of years ago. While I can copy and paste, or drag over, the photos don’t keep their metadata (in particular their location data). Thanks!

  Hello there! There may be a preference you can enable to allow photos to retain the location metadata when using Drag and Drop. Please open the Photos app and go to Settings > General > Sharing > and check the box to include location data. Once that is enabled, please try drag and drop from Photos to Day One.

  Let us know if that helps or if we can assist you further.
