However, there are a few third-party apps that allow you to view and manage your iCloud Photos library on a Windows computer. One popular option is called iCloud Photos Viewer. This app allows you to view your iCloud Photos library, download photos to your computer, and upload new photos to iCloud. Another option is called iCloud Photos Manager.
I'm trying to download my photos from iCloud so I can clean up and continue using the 50 GB option since I have 35 GB photos there. I thought I'd download it to my pc and put two copies of the library on two different drives. It is so sloooow. I'm hitting 250 KB/s.. should be able to download at around 15 MB/s..
Step 1. On iPhone A to set photos to 'Download and Keep Originals'. After photos are fully downloaded, switch off 'iCloud Photos'. Step 2. Log out of iCloud account and log in again into iCloud of iPhone B, switch on 'iCloud Photos' again and turn on sync photos. This should download all the photos and merge them.
So I decided to start a new library on an external 2TB SSD, make it the main library, turn on iCloud for Photos and turn off optimize so that the full photos would come down and I could then dedupe. Downloading was initially sporadic and slow. After a while, it settled down to slowly downloading everything.
Jun 20, 2005. 230. 208. New Jersey. Sep 22, 2019. #1. I've been trying since Friday to download my pictures onto my new 11 Pro Max. My photos show up, but at the bottom it just says downloading and the number either never moves or downloads a few and then stops. I've tried signing in and out, turning iCloud off and on, restarting, nothing works.
So one of them (the phone or the iPad) needs enough storage for the whole iCloud library, then set that device to “Download and keep originals.” Once that’s done, you can select photos and “Export Unmodified Originals” to the external. It won’t be a tar/zip/etc, it’ll literally be just copies of the photos. But they’ll be backed up.
iCloud Photos only works with the system library. You can make any library the system library in the Photos preferences. If you have located your main library on an external drive you just need to make sure it's been designated as your system library and the iCloud library will be synced with that.
Setup the MBA as a new device with no migration (too much old apps etc) managed to copy all my 600GB of music over via an SSD backup but can't seem to do the same with my Pictures. So I enabled my Photos in iCloud and set it so that all my 200GB/46000 pics would download from iCloud in full-size format. 24hrs later it's managed to download ...
Oct 28, 2015. 105. 53. Mont-Saint-Hilaire, QC. Dec 7, 2023. #1. The other day I noticed my Mac Studio had stopped downloading my iCloud Photo Library (about 270GB) originals to the external SSD I have been using since I had my 27 inch iMac. I figured the issue was that it was because I recently started using Plex to share a few video files from it.
We would then delete the photos from iCloud. Today, more than 3 years after starting this process, we discovered that iCloud was only providing us will small-sized images, typically 1536 x 2048 (3.1MP) images of around 500kb. This is far smaller than the 12MP images that the iPhone XR is capable of taking. We were crushed.
