Interesting. any alternative options for iCloud Photos?

  Not affiliated, but Immich (https://immich.app/ https://immich.app/) is a great self-hosted alternative to iCloud Photos.

  You can import your iCloud photos into Immich. Immich itself is agnostic to the photos and mostly just operates on folders of files. https://github.com/simulot/immich-go https://github.com/simulot/immich-go is what I used to import ~300gb of photos from Google Photos to Immich. Not sure how well it works for iCloud. There is also https://ente.io/ https://ente.io/ which is a private & secure photo backup app that you don't need to self-host.

    > Not sure how well it works for iCloud. iCloud Photos stores originals (assuming you're using "Download Originals to this Mac") in the "originals" folder of your .photoslibrary package. If you don't sync your originals, use iCloud Photos Downloader (https://github.com/icloud-photos-downloader/icloud_photos_downloader https://github.com/icloud-photos-downloader/icloud_photos_do...) to get them.

  I use PhotoSync to transfer files automatically. There is also icloudpd and other tools to grab them from iCloud but it requires Advanced Data Protection off.
