[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1787165, member: 396914"] Open Finder. On the left sidebar is an icon that looks like a house. That's your Home folder. It belongs to your account. That's where you want to put everything. Inside that folder is a subfolder named "Documents" along with others. I think one defaults is "Pictures" which is where you can store pictures. Actually, you can put them anywhere, but Apple (I think) adds that as a default location when the account is created as a convenience. Yes, if you attach the drive to the Mac it should be able to be read by the Mac and you can copy them to your folders. Just highlight them on the external drive in Finder, then File/Copy and go to where you want and File/Paste. You can copy a range of them by highlighting one at the top, then scrolling to the bottom and holding shift, click on the last one. Everything in between the two will be highlighted and then copied/pasted when you use the steps I gave. You really should do some study at the Apple website on macOS. There are very good tutorials there. [/QUOTE]
