Drag-copy them. If you're moving the working copy of a Photos or Music library, launch the application with the Option key held down and choose it afterwards.

What is the best way to transfer data from my iCloud onto my computer? Hello Over the years, I have stored all manner of files in my Apple iCloud. Is there a 'simple' way to transfer all such data back onto my computer's hard drive? I have an iMac, running macOS Ventura 13.5, with almost 2 TB of free space right now. My photos are already accessible, as are my Notes. How would you deal with such a task?
