How to Disable iCloud Photo Syncing in OS X Photos
Apple has finally taken the wraps off its iPhoto successor: Photos. It's great so far, but we're not sure everyone is going to be thrilled about its iCloud integration. Here is how to make adjustments to Photos' iCloud features, or turn them off completely.
Photos has been a long time coming. Development on iPhoto, which used to be Apple's go-to photo-editing and library app of choice since 2002, ceased in 2014. To be honest, iPhoto had grown long in tooth and was in dire need of a some kind of refresh but stopping development meant that Apple had a noticeable photos app gap between its desktop operating system and the millions upon millions of iOS devices out there.
Never fear, however, Photos, which not coincidentally shares the same name and icon with its iOS counterparts, closes that gap in Apple's OS X photo library/editing/sharing repertoire.
Photos is meant to sync across all your devices, meaning if you have an iPad or iPhone, you'll be able to take a picture on one of those, and it will automatically appear in your Mac's Photos library, and vice versa.
That said, if you only use a Mac and don't own an iOS device, or you have stuff on your Mac that you don't want to share to iCloud, then you probably will want to turn it off, or make changes to Photos' iCloud options.
