    Dockerized iCloud Client - make a local copy of your iCloud documents and photos, and keep it automatically up-to-date.

  • 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.
