How to sort downloaded iCloud photos once on PC?

How can I sort my photos and videos downloaded from iCloud to PC by date? Right now, they download into a zip file. After I unzip them into a folder, there is nothing sorted by date into folders. When I try to organize my photos, it is almost impossible without looking up the properties of each photo. There has to be a way.

Hello nojustjoking,


If you are running into issues with moving photos from iCloud to your PC, you can follow the guidance offered here on this page: Download and view iCloud Photos on your Windows computer - Apple Support. It offers info on setting up Photos in iCloud for Windows and how to store photos directly to your computer.


If you need help with just sorting the photos once they are on your PC, you may want to reach out to the OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) of your PC to speak with them about this issue or to Microsoft directly, as they are well versed in how to manage and manipulate the Windows software to perform the needed steps.


You can contact Microsoft directly: Contact a third-party vendor - Apple Support


* Find Microsoft products on Microsoft's website and the App Store.


We hope this information helps you out.


Cheers!
