Hi Cam686,


Thanks for contacting Apple Support Communities!


We understand that you're seeing an error when you are moving your iCloud Photos, correct?


Photos can't be moved from the iCloud Photos folder due to syncing, which is why you're seeing this alert. Check out this resource which will show you how to make copies of the photos that are stored in iCloud so that you can arrange them as you'd like: Archive or make copies of the information you store in iCloud - Apple Support

  • "On your PC, make sure that you set up iCloud for Windows and turn on iCloud Photos. Open File Explorer. In the Navigation pane, click iCloud Photos, then select the images you want to keep on your PC. Right-click the selection and choose "Always keep on this device." If you use iCloud for Windows 10 or earlier, learn how to download your photos. After the items download, copy them to another folder on your computer. To do this, press and hold the Ctrl key and drag the items to the folder. Include this folder if you back up your computer."


Take care!
