MacOS – Mac OS X Yosemite Facebook photo posts to OSX Album only

facebookmacosphotos

The native integration of facebook and Mac OSX Yosemite. I am trying to post a photo with the native integration and the dialog already has "Timeline" Selected but yet it posts to "OS X Photos" album on FB.

How do i configure Mac OS X – to post to my FB timeline? I do not want to post it in an album.

The dialog I see as below. You can see "Timeline" is selected but it still posts into the "OS X Album"

Best Answer

Photos on Facebook are classified as a album. Every album contains a bunch of pictures. You cannot post images separately to your timeline without having it part of a album.

When you try to post on facebook.com as a timeline photo, the images are put into a album called "Timeline Images".

When you post pictures from OS X from the share tab it puts the images in the OS X Photos album. You can manually select another album to post to from the toggle beside the text Timeline.
