uhuruphotos-android VS icloud_photos_downloader

Librephotos paired with this https://github.com/savvasdalkitsis/uhuruphotos-android Looks promising for android users..

And, if you are on Android, the unofficial third party app i'm personally developing for it, UhuruPhotos is quite full featured, with full photo backup and sync coming imminently

Try out LibrePhotos. If you're on Android there is an unofficial client (built by me) that has many features of Google photos (full backup and sync coming very very soon). It's called UhuruPhotos https://github.com/savvasdalkitsis/uhuruphotos-android

Give LibrePhotos a go. It works with your current folder structure and has a nice (I think) unofficial Android app (full disclosure, I am building the app in question), UhuruPhotos (https://github.com/savvasdalkitsis/uhuruphotos-android)

Also, Uhuruphotos is in heavy development and looks really great. It will be an Android app for librephotos https://github.com/savvasdalkitsis/uhuruphotos-android

It's called UhuruPhotos. You can find it here https://github.com/savvasdalkitsis/uhuruphotos-android

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.
