photos restore from ic

I repaired photos library on Mac now it’s restoring photos from iCloud but it’s taking forever. Two days now. How long will this last.

Any time you repair the library or move it to a different volume it will trigger another down/upload. The time will depend on how big your library is, how fast an internet connection you have and whether you ave "Optimize Mac Storage" enabled.

You can close the library but leave the Mac on over night to facilitate continued downloading.
