I think it is very important to have access to the Monument connected USB drives via the network. If I use Monument to import my photos, I need to be able to access them from my photo editing software. At this point I don't care if the AI info is accessible via Lightroom, Photoshop or whatever but I need to be able to access the photo's from those programs so a network drive letter for each connected disk seems the easiest way to go..

  Really cant lose sight of this feature request. Totally agree with Bill here, for people who's main workflow for photographs is a camera, then it is crucial that once the photos are uploaded then you have access to them for post processing or distribution - both of which are currently very cumbersome if Monument is the primary import utility.
  
  The flip side to this is that I really like the speed of access to photos on the monument through the app, its fast and the scrolling through hundreds of photos is really good.

  So I would also like to throw in there that because of the limitation I can only see primarily using Monument as the presentation layer for my edited and completed photos not as a source for editing. 
  My workflows will be entirely on PC/MAC and then I will publish TO a folder on the monument letting monument do all it AI Stuff (when it works for Android) - AND I need a method that allows me to remove / update those files - which i think it does ok today (if you change a file on the USB)

  But the desktop/network access requirement remains core to this idea.

  This not fix and is a massive problem. What the point in having an awesome photo storage solution if i can have photoshop of lightroom to edit the photo?

  I can even bulk download the original photos.

  Can I get any editing software to reference my monument photo and edit them?

  This is a deal breaker for my and many photographers if monument can't do this.

  Please fix!

  Looks like no movement has been made on this request since Sep 2017!!!  Please provide bulk download capability or direct access capability from local computer apps.   Wish I had known of this limitation and apparent unwillingness to address before i bought into it.  

   

  Please Fix!!!!!
