Sounds like you are doing a few photos at a time? My library count is now over 200k photos. It worries me that it is almost impossible to get a guaranteed backup of them from iCloud to local storage. Even when I tick the box in Mac photos app to store originals, from my own testing I’ve found lots of images are still only locally loaded when first viewed. Not great for making local backups!
- SirMaster 3y agoTypically several hundred to 1-2K at most I guess. A mixture of regular, raw, and videos. Everything has always transferred off just fine at least for me. For a huge library like that I would go with a reliable software like iMazing.
- jazzyjackson 3y agoI downloaded my iCloud library from privacy.apple.com, you can request a copy of your data there. It will take a few days before they send you a link that expires in a week but you'll get your whole library in 50GB zipped chunks.
