I'm trying to access photos on my laptop backed up to iCloud from my iPhone/iPad. I installed the latest release of iCloud for Windows and it did create a folder under Pictures for iCloud Photos but the folder is empty. I have 2.7GB of photos on iCloud so the pictures are not downloading. What am I missing?!
iPad, iOS 10

If you truly are backing up your device to icloud, then you can't view pictures as outlined here What does iCloud back up? - Apple Support
You would need to be syncing to icloud Set up and use iCloud Photos - Apple Support

Hello!?! Did you not see that I have 2.7gb of photos backed up on iCloud? I know they’re there but I can’t access them.
Please re-read what I wrote maybe click on the link I provided so you have a better understanding or know the difference between backing up to icloud and syncing to icloud.
