Issue on downloading Photos from iCloud to App Foto in Macbook

Hallo,

I am trying to save space on my iCloud.

I want to download the original Photos from iCloud to the application Photo in my MacBook.

I already activated the funcion "Download Originals to this Mac" in Settings of Photo application.

It started downloading the Photos and videos and now it stopped. For two days it didn´t download any other photo.

Is there a way to boost the downloading?

Now I cannot understad which photos are downloaded and wich photos are not.

Can anyone help me with this issue?

Thank you very much

You could try exporting all of the photos, this will force a download.

Select unmodified originals for export as this is quicker and due to the wonders of APFS if the photo is already in your library it will not take up any more space on your hard drive because of the way linked files work.
