Photos Permission

PreviousOnboardingNextAccessibility

Last updated 1 year ago

When you first launch AlbumFiler, it will ask you for permission to access your Photos library. In order for AlbumFiler to work, you must grant it permission. Otherwise, AlbumFiler will not be able to retrieve a list of your albums and folders.

If you click Don't Allow, Photos will not have access to Photos and will not operate properly. To resolve this, you will have to do the following:

  1. Quit AlbumFiler.

  2. Quit System Settings if it is opened.

  3. Open System Settings.

  4. Go to the Privacy & Security > Photos section.

  5. Enable access for AlbumFiler.

  6. Open AlbumFiler.
