How to transfer photos to external hard drive? (alien.top)

My storage is so filled up so I’m trying to transfer all my photos off my phone onto an external hard drive but my MacBook is making me transfer them to my photo library on the MacBook. My laptop is also low on space, is there a way I could just move them from the phone to the drive the way you would a file?

Use an external drive plugged into your phone - then can export with the share menu.

The better option though is to plug your phone into your Mac and use the image capture app (probably need to use the search to find it - but it will already be on your Mac). This allows you to copy the photos to any location and you can also choose to delete them after they’ve copied.
