Move photos from iCloud to iDrive

I would simply like to move my photos from iCloud to iDrive. I just would like to know how to migrate my photos within the cloud (without having to download to any device or external drive) from iCloud to iDrive. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you

MacBook Air 11″, macOS 10.12

you would consider iDrive a third-party or not. I don’t think so.

If it's not an Apple product, and it isn't, it is considered 3rd party.


I doubt there is a process to move content between those cloud services. You may have to move content from iCloud to your local drive and then to iDrive. I expect once you sign out of iCloud, that content will not appear in iDrive.


If you check iDrive's FAQ, the phrase "icloud" does not appear. that suggest to me they have no direct processes for iCloud integration.

Assuming iDrive is a 3rd party cloud service, they would need to provide a process for this.

iDrive is found on my iCloud. IDrive contains folders that live on my iCloud. My goal is to separate all my photos from any kind of syncing that is going on between devices. I used to save iPhoto libraries on external drives and that worked out really well. I would like to do the same thing by migrating onto iDrive. I’m not sure if you would consider iDrive a third-party or not. I don’t think so.
