Exclude thumbnail images folder inside apple photo library for Backup and Sync for Google Photos

gistfile1.txt

Workaround thumbnail images, metadata junk photos from apple photo library.

Tested on mac os mojave

You cannot move Masters out of the library using symlinks, BUT you can have symlinks INSIDE the .photolibrary?

What's the idea? We will have .photolibrary INSIDE .photolibrary

The folder structure

main.photolibrary
---Masters SYMLINKS to the child.photolibrary Masters folder
---resources
---child.photolibrary
------Masters

go to main.photolibrary and open terminal
cd main.photolibrary

rm child.photolibrary/Masters
mv main.photolibrary child.photolibrary/Masters
ln -s child.photolibrary/Masters Masters

Please be careful and always have a backup files.

DONE. Enjoy!
