Is there any way to export all of the photos out even to a single directory. I am loving Immich but if something unexpectedly happens to me, my family would have no clue on how to manage a docker image. I would like to have them easy access in that event

No need for an export, they're all in wherever you set UPLOAD_LOCATION to

Maybe using the storage template would help to "manage" a bit more easily in some ways

But yeah they will be stored in the UPLOAD_LOCATION

Thank you for the quick response. I looked but I guess I just need to go double check myself as I didn’t see them.

I did find the photos down in sub-directories. I still feel like it would be a cool feature or have a call that could export out all photos and videos even to a single directory. I know that others must have the same concerns with their love ones not having photos should something happen to them. I appreciate your consideration ahead of time. I won’t keep bothering about this.

I mean you can just make a storage template with a single folder..

boreal zealot

Thank you Zeus. I will read up on that cause I don’t understand it yet

The reason we don't store everything in 1 folder is because it will slow down your system when you get in the tens of thousands of pictures

#

You can make a storage template that does that anyway, but the slowness will be on you

Thank you and I get the reasoning as Immich’s response time is impressive. I was just wondering about a mass export as a backup for non technical family members. Legacy planning is never pleasant but trying to be responsible.

You have all the originals in a folder on your disk? I am not sure how much less technical it can get
