icloud-drive-docker VS icloud_photos_downloader

There is also: https://github.com/mandarons/icloud-drive-docker As a direct route. You’ll need two instances for two accounts, but it works super nicely!

Since there is a docker container for everything this one syncs your iCloud to your local machine. I believe he’s working on syncing local to iCloud also. icloud-docker

If your willing to spin up a container somewhere, take a look at https://github.com/mandarons/icloud-drive-docker.

I have been trying to install the following docker container. It's in community applications by the same name. I have configured the settings like this in Unraid. I created the directories and added the confi.yaml file. However, when I run the console I get a connection closed error. I also tried connecting through the terminal and running the command there but it keeps returning a "command not found." Is there something I'm missing? I think it might be related to the config file but I've played around with the info there and still get the error. I'd appreciate any input.

I've used PhotoSync before with success. I've also been looking at this docker container which would do files and photos. Does anyone have experience with the latter and would you recommend one over the other? I feel like PhotoSync is local to the device while the docker container would work no matter which device it's on. I'd appreciate any input.

> They don't offer an appropriate API to get photos out.

There's this: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/photokit "The framework provides access to photos on the person’s device and in iCloud."

If you want to use undocumented APIs on non-Apple devices directly, there are projects like https://github.com/steilerDev/icloud-photos-sync and https://github.com/icloud-photos-downloader/icloud_photos_do... that appear to be able to do this.

If you have iCloud, you can use icloud.com to get all your photos in a zip.

Or you can use scripts like this one : https://github.com/icloud-photos-downloader/icloud_photos_do...

I use https://github.com/icloud-photos-downloader/icloud_photos_do... running on my NAS to regularly download photos from my wife's iCloud account. The photos are stored in full resolution on iCloud with the EXIF data, unlike Google Photos, so that's nice. The only annoyance is that you need to reauthorize the tool every three months. But it sends you a reminder when the time is coming up.

I keep my photos in iCloud and sync them up to a Synology NAS (using icloudpd) which is backed up to Backblaze B2.

A set of PowerShell scripts to download and organize iCloud media. The scripts use the awesome iCloud downloader from https://github.com/icloud-photos-downloader/icloud_photos_downloader to do the actual download. And the organization happens in a specific way…
