Hi,
How can I copy photos to my PC and external hard drive from my iCloud and keep the original date they were taken? It keeps changing it to todays date or a modified date when I try and copy them.
Thank you
Windows, Windows 10
Hey there Sarah1791,
You can use the steps below to save a copy of your photos from iCloud to your PC. This should keep the same information from the photos when they're saved.
On your PC, make sure that you set up iCloud for Windows and turn on iCloud Photos. Open File Explorer. In the Navigation pane, click iCloud Photos, then select the images you want to keep on your PC. Right-click the selection and choose "Always keep on this device." If you use iCloud for Windows 10 or earlier, learn how to download your photos. After the items download, copy them to another folder on your computer. To do this, press and hold the Ctrl key and drag the items to the folder. Include this folder if you back up your computer.
For more information, use this link: Archive or make copies of the information you store in iCloud - Apple Support
Take care!
iCloud photos transfer to keep original date
