Great vid and simple explanation. How long will it takes to import a file size of 100GB? Does it also import RAW as it is. As the days goes by, the photos will be accumulating. Does the import repeat the transfering of photos already imported before and taking twice the time or it can auto select only new photos. Can it import vidoes together with photos at one go or must do two separate operation?
