Original Title: Turns out my parents kept all of our old computers and hard drives! I want to move all of the old files and photos from our old hard drives to one new SSD so I can have all of our family photos in one place!

I want to just be able to plug an old drive in (I’m gonna buy a HDD dock) and then copy all of the files of one type like photos (jpeg AND png, etc) to ONE new folder on my new SSD. I don’t wanna have to look through each folder and subfolder and stuff on the old computers and I want to preserve the metadata so that I can have everything in a chronological order and know what years photos were taken.

Whats the best file management app to aggregate stuff with?
