10.7: Auto-copy Photo Stream images to a folder
I have tried to wrap my head around if this can be modified to receive a Photostream from another iCloud-account (my wife's). I don't think so.
We would like to share one account for photos. However she uses a different iCloud account from mine for her addresses etc. We cannot configure different accounts for Photostream and everything else, nor can I subscribe to somebody elses Photostream. So to download the pictures from her iPhone to my/our Mac, on the Mac I have to keep an otherwise unused user account running in the background with iPhoto open. Not exactly ideal. Alternatively: Her iPhone backs up wirelessly to my iTunes. Can her photos be extracted from this backup somehow?

Unfortunately, I don't think there's any way around this, since all this script is doing is reading images from a folder that is being created and maintained by the OS X Photo Stream components -- it's actually a fairly basic script that's not doing anything much more magical than copying files from one folder to another :)

Thank you for this. If we could setup a "shared account" and use it alongside our private accounts, that would be great.

Actually, you can setup additional iCloud accounts, but it's not obvious as the default iCloud settings are only for the single, primary iCloud account. However, this is really just a shortcut to the primary iCloud account settings -- if you go into the "Mail, Contacts, Calendars" section in the iOS Settings app or the OS X System Preferences you'll see that your iCloud account is also listed there along with any other accounts you have setup. You can add an additional iCloud account from here in the same manner as you would any other e-mail, contact or calendar account. |
