About:
iCloudPD is a command-line tool that downloads photos and videos from iCloud Photos. It synchronizes your iCloud library to a local directory, supporting features like live photos, album organization, and incremental updates. This tool is ideal for creating local backups or migrating your photo library away from the cloud.
|
Key Features:
- Two-way synchronization with iCloud
- Support for Live Photos and album structures
- Incremental updates to avoid re-downloading
- Configurable folder structure and file naming
- Docker support for containerized deployment
|
Use Cases:
- Creating a local backup of an iCloud Photo library
- Migrating photos from iCloud to another cloud service or NAS
- Automated photo downloads on a home server or NAS
|
Alternatives:
-
Apple iCloud for Windows
– Official Apple client offers syncing but lacks the granular control and scripting capabilities of iCloudPD.
-
Google Photos Takeout Importer
– Designed for Google data, whereas iCloudPD interacts directly with the iCloud API for live syncing.
