One of us is missing something.
In Photos.app I clicked download originals. The photos are there on my Mac. It’s bit gross to get at them though - right click on app > show package contents.
Are you wanting a way that doesn’t involve the photos app?
You can do that from iCloud over a browser.
- reconnecting 10mo agoIf you open the Photos app (macOS) connected to iCloud with an empty library, there will be no photos until you import them from your phone. Hope this is clear now. iCloud via browser has a limit of 1k photos per download.

- lostlogin 10mo agoThis is not correct. You don’t need an iPhone for Photos.app to work. There are plenty of problems with Photos.app but the issue you describe isn’t by design.
- reconnecting 10mo agoMy bad — it appears that Monterey wasn't syncing with iCloud due to "Performance." Photos on Monterey hides the status message at the bottom of the page, and I had to pull the page down twice to finally see it. Thank you for proving me wrong.
- lostlogin 10mo agoOh god. I’d forgotten about that tiny dialogue box. 98,281 items to sync. I hope it comes right quickly.
