This sounds like a dumb question, but it's exactly what I want to do but haven't figured out how for a couple of years. How do you do that? I have the Photos app, and sync many pictures to it. I can sync from Photos to cloud. But how do I make it _download_ all photos that are on iCloud to my Photos app?
I tend to feel worried with syncing in case something is deleted, not added. I haven't spotted any clear non-destructive sync option. I likely misunderstand the UI.
- radicality 4y agoOpen Photos app on the Mac, go to "Photos -> Preferences", go to "iCloud", and tick the "Download Originals" checkbox. Make sure you have enough hdd space to store the whole collection locally. This will make Photos start downloading all the full, original pictures and videos in your iCloud library into the folder `~/Pictures/Photos Library.photoslibrary/originals/`.
