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..
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.
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 ...

However, automatic downloads of originals is still stuck...
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.
You have 2 options with Apple Photos on a Mac. Look for the Export command in the drop down menu, and you can either export unmodified originals, which dumps out unaltered original photos just as you imported them, or you can chose to export them as-edited, and you then select your desired quality settings, where there should be an option to preserve your metadata or to exclude it. iPads and ...
Every month, we would download the photos from iCloud to our local NAS drive to backup the data. 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.
Concern with this option: I think it actually hooks into the local photos library on disk (SSD internal) in this case and since I have optimize storage turned on -- it'll actually force it to download full versions of the photos / videos from iCloud INTO the local on disk library (causing it to try to get up to 1.2TB in size on a SSD that is ...
