When I download my photos from ICloud on a windows computer the file names became crytic and are not the original ones. What do I have to do to get the original file name?

iPhone SE, iOS 15

Hello cinziagina,


The article that was linked to your posting may help with iCloud Photos when you're running into unexpected behavior: Get help with iCloud Photos - Apple Support.


Are your photos duplicated in your iCloud library? If so, iCloud may be charging the name to avoid have identical file names for different photos.


Let us know if we can help with anything else at all or if this doesn't settle your issue so we can look into this further with you. Thanks and have a fabulous day!
