Does the PhotoSync app permit that? I use it to copy files to my NAS but it has some USB-related options I never explored. I used to use Image Capture but heard of PhotoSync and have never looked back.

With Photosync I have our photos export to my NAS and have it update the file names with the timestamp + original file name, which makes it so much more sane to sort through.

Example:

Original: IMG_9999.JPG

Server-side file: 2015.01.15__IMG_9999__.JPG

That looks like it might do the trick. I feel like this should be something possible only using first party apps but I'll take it! Thanks.

  • I use and like PhotoSync but I thought it doesn’t export unmodified originals but your edited versions. Personally I like this behavior better but that might not be what you want?

    I’m not sure Apple allows any third party app to access the unmodified originals. Imagine you crop a photo to remove some embarrassing part. A third-party app can just recover that? What a privacy risk.

    Of course this won’t matter if you don’t do any photo editing on iOS.
