How can i import external data into folders in iCloud?

I currently have all my iPhoto folders stored on a external harddrive (removed from iPhoto) and would like to put them in iCloud. The unfortunate thing is that i have an Macbook Air, and not enough memory to put all the folders back in iPhoto to have them uploaded to iCloud.
- i have tried iCloud Drive, but this doesn't create folders..
Thanks!

You can create folders on iCloud Drive, like you create folders in Finder on your hard drive.
Just open iCloud Drive in Finder and enter ⌘N to create a new folder. Then drag your photos to that folder and rename the folder.
Only the special folders created by the standard apps do not allow to create deeply nested folders inside  these folders.
The unfortunate thing is that i have an Macbook Air, and not enough memory to put all the folders back in iPhoto to have them uploaded to iCloud.
If you want to move the photos to iCloud Drive to save space on your MacBook Air, that will not work.  For any file you store on iCloud Drive there will be a shadow copy on your Mac, so you cannot save space on your MacBook Air this way. You need as much spce on your MAcBook Air as you are using in iCloud.  Maybe this will change in future MacOS X versions, but right now you will have all iCloud files stored locally as well.

    Hi,
    to import from multiple data sources, first configure ODBC connections for respective data sources. then you can import data from multiple data sources. When you import the data, a connection pool will create automatically.

  • How can I import a movie into iMovie 09 from a hard drive?  The movie will open and play in idvd but breaks into separate files that can't be downloaded when I try to import.  Can it be done?

    How can I import a movie into iMovie 09 from a hard drive?  The movie will open and play in idvd but breaks into separate files that can't be downloaded when I try to import.  Can it be done? I am trying to create a disc of player highlights for a collegiate coach, and I am using movie files downloaded to my hard drive from a DVD created on a PC. 

    No unfortunately it won't open in quicktime either.  It does the same thing that Imovie does, separates it into two file folders audio and video, and if i select video it opens to reveal 8 files that cannot be selected.  VIDEO_TS.BUP, VIDEO_TS.IFO, VIDEO_TS.VOB,VTS_01_0.BUP, VTS_01_0.IFO, VTS_01_1.VOB, VTS_01_2.VB, VTS_01_3.VOB.  All of which cannot be opened or selected.
    Opening it in Idvd and folllowing your suggestion works and I get a format code of NTSC.  Is that the same?  Thank you for your time and response.

  • How can i import mpeg files into iMovie?

    how can i import mpeg files into iMovie?

    Where are your MPEG stored?
    I have hundreds of old MPEGs stored in my nexternal drive, but unfortunatly i was not able import them into iMovie. I did the following trick: I created a new set of a folder and subfolder and called it "Virtual_CAM/DCIM" and saved it on my desktop. Then went to Disk Utilities>File Menue>New>Disk Image from Folder. Then selected the folder on my desktop and clicked enter. I moved the .dmg file to my external (or just keep it on your desktop). I clicked on the .dmg file. It shoud be visible on the Finder. Open your Imovie and import as you do from your camera.

  • How can i move several emails into folders in ipad?

    How can i move several emails into folders in ipad?

    You can sort by using the search feature. When you are in your mail account you use the search bar at the top to find emails from a particular sender (there are Other options as well in search). Type in that sender's address. When the emails show up in the window on the left side, select all of the emails that you want to move. Tap Edit at the bottom and the Move Folder icon will appear. Tap that icon and select the folder that you want to move the emails into.
    To move multiple emails without using the search to sort, go to your inbox and tap Edit. Then select all of the emails that you want to move. After you are done selecting them, tap the Move icon at the bottom on the left side of the account window. When you tap move, you get a choice of folder into which you can place the selected emails.

  • How can I import UDOs data in earlier 2007 versions (before PL46)

    Hi Experts,
    I made an UIAPI AddOn that has several u201CChoose from listu201D (CFLs) and is working fine, In order to use CFLs I had to make an UDO.
    Mi problem is that my customer has SAP B1 PL42 and in this version the Data Transfer (DTW) cannot import UDOs data (this feature supposed to be available in the SP01PL06 version) and the DIAPI has no support to add UDOs rows (this feature is available from PL46).
    My question is, ¿How the old AddOns (PL42 and olders) that have CFLs did to import its data?, ¿How can I import UDOs data in PL42?
    Thanks

    Hi Mario,
    Unfortunately, there was no supported method for importing UDO data in versions prior to PL 46. The only option is to use the UDO form itself, within the SBO client, to load data. I have previously used the B1 Test Tools utility to load UDO data (which takes control of the UI so using it doesn't bypass SAP"s support rules) but it does take a bit of work to set up and you can't control the test tools through code.
    SAP don't allow the direct use of SQL statements on system tables. As all UDOs use system tables to some degree (ie ONNM etc), you can't use SQL statements to load data without breaching SAP's support rules and risking loss of support for your system.
    How much data is involved?
    Kind Regards,
    Owen

    You might want to look at this one too.  Very easy to use and it doesn't require the Apple MPEG-2 playback component.

    I quote:
    Not specifically "import" but you can open a series of images as an animation. This will place each image in its own state, suitable for creating an animation.

    How can I import vcard info into the new numbers 3.0?
    To the old numbers, it is easy ;-)

    If you're trying to bring in information from Contacts, another user (I'll try to find the link) posted a "hidden solution".  In Contacts select as many contacts as you want, command-c to copy, then in a Numbers sheet command-v to paste. A table is formed automatically.
