Description

I have two feature requests.

First is a feature to sync favorites with Apple photo library, where favoriting photos in either app would mark it as favorites in either app. This feature is derived from Google Photos' existing feature. This can be helpful, as I sometimes favorite photos for my easy access, including slides.

Lastly, a feature to only sync favorites in the Apple photo library, which was requested by a Nextcloud forums member. In that user's case, it can be useful if taking multiple photos and wanting only the desired (favorited) content to be uploaded.

Research direction

The issue does not identify files, tests, or an entry point. Begin by locating the existing Apple Photos upload and favorites handling, then define separate acceptance criteria for bidirectional favorites sync and favorites-only uploads.
