One thought...

Finding Specific Filetypes from iCloud:

To search for specific filetypes in iCloud (i.e. all png image files), you would perform the following...

How this Works:

You would...

1. Plug in: the External Hard Drive to a Mac.
2. Download: all of iCloud to the External Hard Drive (using my user tip)
3. Create: a folder on the External Hard Drive
4. Search: for the images by filetype (enter the extension in the top-right corner of the Finder window).
5. Drag & Drop: all of these found item to the folder (in step three)
6. Move: the rest of the download to the Trash
7. Delete: the files from the Trash
8. Eject: the hard drive in a Finder window.

Then...

Copy & Past the folder to the external flash drive.
