MacOS 10.14.6 (latest this Mac can run) on Mac Pro 5,1. I have none of the iCloud Storage Management options enabled.
#Messages for mac image location full#
I am in no way short of data space, 1TB SSD boot drive, only half full & 12TB of other drives in this Mac. I sync things like Contacts, Calendars etc, not "multimedia" of any sort, so I don't expect the repository to be iCloud.Īre these images really held in iCloud, even though I haven't asked for them to be? The only app I sync on iCloud Drive is Maps, nothing else. I don't have my Photos on there, for instance. My Messages are synced over iCloud between Mac & iPhone, though very little else is.
BTW, I am not searching for _DSD files, they're from my "proper" photos. Using EasyFind to search hidden locations & packages etc for img_ reveals nothing more. Searching the entire drive from Finder gives no other clues. Use AirPlay to share the latest movies and games, photos, and presentations directly to the Mac’s stunning Retina display or to play music from across the room to the high-fidelity sound system in your Mac. After I refetch an older one, it then appears at today's date. View photos or videos in Details view: Click the Details button in the top-right corner of the conversation, scroll to Photos, then double-click a file to open. With AirPlay to Mac, it’s easy to play, present, and share just about anything from iPhone or iPad right to a Mac. If I search in Finder, Kind: jpeg image inside the Attachments folder at ~/Library/Containers//Data/Library/Messages/Attachments I see only the same images as are already inlined. This, as you can imagine, is not the fastest way to find a specific photo :\ If I click on any of those down arrows, the picture will reload. I could imagine my phone would do that to save space, but I didn't expect it on the Mac. This appears to be some automatic action taken without my knowledge. I have never 'cleaned' this conversation manually. Once I get past that then they've apparently been archived somewhere & I can't find where. If I scroll back a Messages conversation, then for the past six months or so I can see all attachments, pictures etc in-line as normal. I started by scrolling back in Messages, but then realised it would be quicker to find their storage location & sort by date… neither was successful.
I thought this was going to be a few minutes' job. I don't have it in what used to be Camera Roll on the phone nor in Photos.app on phone or Mac, so I'm going to have to dig it out from Messages. I'm looking for one specific photograph, a jpg taken on my iPhone, which I know was sent to my partner over Messages, towards the end of 2019.
