I have recently installed the App on my mac to facilitate the transfer of the pictures, but now I’m worried I can’t delete them from my computer without deleting them from Immich. What can I do? (P.s. I have album sync on, should I also turn it off?)

There is no native Mac app, so what are you referencing?

Oh? When going to the App Store and searching immich it appears

#

Could it be an iOS/ipadOS app that is compatible with mac?

Possibly? Honestly I'm not sure I have never even heard of it lol

If its any help, the way I'm importing my photos to immich (that are in icloud) is by opening photos on my mac, selecting all of them, clicking File > export > export unmodified originals, then using immich-go with the --from-icloud flag
