Download all 155,000 original photos from iCloud to an external hard drive.... 1000 photos a a time ?? Hello, I would like to download ALL my photos (155,000 images and videos) from iCloud to an external hard drive. I cannot export them from the Photo App on my Mac since they are optimized and therefore not the originals. I went to iCloud to download all photos but apparently I cannot download all the pictures, but only 1000 at a time? so basically I would have to do 155 downloads of 1000 photos to download all??? Any other easier solutions? Please let me know, Thanks a lot in advance, Eric
