I cannot download large video from icloud

I have my photos and videos uploaded to icloud, trying to download them on Windows using the iCloud application, most of the files (photos and small videos) I can download, but if the video is over 100MB, not much luck there, it will keep on failing and retrying from beginning.

any method that can help? Thanks

iCloud 4k videos download problems Hello, I have 4k videos in my iCloud and when I downloaded them to my PC, they downloaded as compressed files. I already clicked the 3 dots and downloaded them using the unmodified original option, and every other option available and they're still downloading as compressed files. This never happened to me in the past. I have been logging into my iCloud.com account to download the files. Is this a bug? Hope to hear back, thanks.

I have this problem since 2020.

And it's impossible to solve it. The only solution I found was to cancel my iCloud 2TB plan and subscribe to Google Drive.

Google Drive is MUCH better.

Google Drive has better APP for iOS and Windows.

Great. That's the easiest way as your Photos content will automatically sync to your PC.
