Hello, how can I save all the photos I have in Lightroom organized into folders and subfolders on an external hard drive?

Hola, ¿cómo puedo guardar todas las fotos que tengo en Lightroom organizadas en carpetas y subcarpetas en un disco duro externo?

Gracias/Thanks!

If you have a Mac or Windows computer, give this a try: https://lightroom.adobe.com/lightroom-downloader 

This will save all your original and edit images by date, not however using your Lightroom folder and album names.

Not so easily. Tell us what you're trying to achieve and we might be able to provide a solution. Are the copies that you're trying to create meant to be a simple backup, or are they for some other purpose.


I’m trying to export all the pictures to free up space on the iPad. But the problem is that I have all my pictures in folders and subfolders. I can do it one by one, subflder by subfolder, but is really a waste of time. I´m a photojounalist so I download photos in the ipad every day by folders and subfolders. At the end of the month, I need to export all the pictures in original format but I don´t know how to do it.

Another thing that could be improved is that, to delete a folder of photos, you have to go into each subfolder and delete the photos so that it lets you delete that subfolder and so on. It should let you delete the "January" folder and thus delete all the folders and photos that are inside.
