I have a QNAP TS-453BT3 and I am trying to download all of my wife’s photos on to my QNAP.
Currently she has 30,000 photos on her iCloud, but iCloud only allows me to download 1,000 at a time, which is taking a VERY long time.
is there a QNAP app/short cut to just download all the photos at once?
Ideally, I would download it the evening before then wake up and organize them all the next morning.
On a MAC simply open Photos app and go to Preferences… then choose option to download Originals to this Mac
On a Windows download iCloud app – https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT204283
Click on icloud icon on the task bar
Open Icloud settings
Enable Photos icloud sync
In order to download all photos and images directly on your Qnap or Synology NAS, change download folder location to your NAS drive.
If you haven’t mounted your NAS drives on on your computer, here is how to do it:
If, for some reason app doesn’t allow you to download directly to the NAS network drive, then leave the local PC download folder in the settings. Then when all files are downloaded, move them to the network drive.
Go to “My Computer” and open iCloud Photos
Click Download Photos and Videos
This will automatically download all photos to your selected download folder.
That is it. Happy copying!
