Before the deadline
- Run the bulk download in a web browser on a computer (not the smartphone app) and save every ZIP part.
- Open each ZIP once to make sure it isn’t corrupt, and keep two copies on different drives.
- Organize the download into dated folders and drop exact duplicates, then move it to Google Photos, Lightroom or Apple Photos.
- Don’t count on Nikon Imaging Cloud: nothing moves there automatically.
Don’t leave it for April
Organize the Nikon Image Space ZIP now: EXIF date folders, album folders kept, duplicates removed, all in your browser.
