Transferring pictures between Family Search and Ancestry
I mostly use Family Search when adding pictures and memories to an ancestor. However many of my family members use Ancestry.com to do those things.
I’d love an easy way to transfer pictures, memories, documents, etc between the 2 websites.
There is still no way to do that without taking each picture, one by one, and copying/saving off from one website, going to the other website, and posting/pasting.

This would be nice to know. I'm trying to do the same thing, only from ancestry to family search. Ancestry is SO much easier to use.

My two cents' worth - anything that makes someone slow down and think before copying and adding photos is a good thing. I regularly receive notifications that FamilySearch has a new photo for one of my ancestors. Inevitably, it is a photo that I posted elsewhere, that someone has copied and added to FamilySearch without any attribution. Often, I find my photos attached to someone of a similar name, but in a different place and time.
A photo without provenance is only a pretty picture. We need to show evidence and a trail of breadcrumbs. Where did we find it? How do we know that it is the person to whose profile it is attached?
