[digiKam-users] Moving photos and database files

[noname at fastmail.net]

Hello,

My thread this morning was redirected to cover another equally interesting topic, so I'm back asking the right way to move my 230GB photo collection and Digikam database files from a hard drive to the cloud drive, specifically pCloudDrive.

I see that I can create a second collection on the cloud drive and copy/cut photos and albums from the hard drive collection to the cloud drive collection. It works to preserve the metadata. I edited my Digikam configuration to write metadata to the "items" only and not the sidecar. (I agree that the metadata part of the Digikam configuration could be more clear in this respect).

How do I move the Digikam database files to the cloud drive? By doing the Database Migration tool as in /home/jay/pictures ---> /home/jay/pCloudDrive/pictures? That is the remaining question.

Thank you for your help!

Jay Rutherford
