    I've started using my old Olympus digital camera (an E-M1) again, and looking at ways to connect to the computer (a Mac Mini M4) to upload photos.

    Is the OM Workspace the best software to use? I've found that it does work using wireless, but it's all a bit clunky. I'd rather use wireless and not connect cables or SD
    cards.

    I don't know the Mac, but under Windows no special software is needed to download the images. After connecting it with a USB cable to the PC, the camera shows up as an external drive and you can transfer the picture
    files with drang and drop. Perhaps on the Mac it's the same.

    Alternatively, you can use a USB card reader to transfer the image files
    to the computer. I'd guess that also on a Mac this will work.
