Transfer more than 1000 photos at a time from iCloud to external hard drive
I'm trying to transfer more than 1000 photos at a time from iCloud to external hard drive. iCloud only let's you do 1000 at a time and I have close to 8000, my wife has 30,000 photos. Even when we try to select 1000 photos, it downloads to a HEIC file, not JPEG. Or the ZIP gets corrupted. How can I download all the photos to an ext. drive at once?
iMac 27″, OS X 10.11
