I’ve got a MacBook Air and trying to work out how to put photos from my phone onto my hardrive ( my passport for Mac ) can anyone help? I have no idea how to back anything up or clear storage from it and put onto my hardrive

I AirDrop photos from my iPhone onto my Mac.
I’ve got over a thousand to do though, I can’t upload it straight onto my Mac as I don’t have enough storage. I need to put pics on my hardrive but can’t work out how to do it?
my iPhone photos automatically share onto my mac and are all saved in my iCloud which i pay extra for more storage so they dont fill my phone or laptop storage. This may work for you?
I do this monthly bc I’m a lunatic and take hundreds of pics monthly of my pit bull and lab mutt. Haha
I plug the external hard drive into my MacBook air
An icon pops up on your screen ; open that
Make your folders (like 2020 - April pics) or however you want to group them.
Then I plug my iPhone in
Image capture pops up. Open that and all your pics are in order. Group highlight (*Command* then highlight to select as many as you want then hit *Command* again - that’s lets you select hundreds without tapping each one)
then at the drop down menu at the bottom it allows you to select the folder to attach to!
