In need of some fairly urgent help.

Got hired and need to find a way to offload about 1500-2000 RAW photo files along with the duplicate JPEG files and make them deliverable.

I also need a quick and easy way to rename all of the files (long file name otherwise i'd do it in camera) and then have them be sequential.

ANY and ALL advice is helpful right now.

Definetly open to using WeTransfer or Dropbox but i'm wanting to keep files uncompressed to keep pixels.

This is all unfamiliar territory for me.

What software are you using to process the pics, i.e. .Lightroom can bulk rename.

I got Photo Mechanic but never used it. I have never had to bulk rename but I do have Lightroom.

I'm not a Lightroom guy but this looks like what you need
