Hi. I'm still relatively new to Lightroom but my hard drive is almost full - programs aren't working now. So I need to move some folders of work photos off my laptop and onto an external drive, so I can finish an important photo project for work. I screwed everything up once when I moved photos around without doing it through Lightroom, so I don't want to make the same mistake. But I've never moved folders of photos off my computer and onto an external drive with Lightroom and I'm nervous about making a mistake and losing important files! Can someone walk me through it?? (I'm on a MacBook Pro running Bug Sur 11.4, and I'm moving them onto a 2T Seagate Ultra Touch, which is already formatted for my laptop). Thanks!
