Note: Users with Music or Photos libraries stored on an external drive or network share may need to add that drive/share to Content > Folders in FireStream, stop, quit, and restart FireStream to ensure the content is accessible.

Note 2: To stream all Photos content, “Download Originals to this Mac” must be selected in Photos Preferences if using iCloud Photos. Otherwise, much of your content may not appear in FireStream because it’s not available locally on your machine.

Note 3: If you’re using more than one Photo Library, make sure your preferred Photo Library is set as the System Photo Library in Photos Preferences. Only the System Photo Library will be visible in FireStream.
