Hello aroundthemountain1,
It seems like you want to transfer a copy of your iCloud Photos collection to Google Photos, is that correct? If so, please check out the information outlined in the link you came from, which explains that process and outlines what to do: Transfer a copy of your iCloud Photos collection to another service
You can request to transfer a copy of your iCloud Photos—photos and videos associated with your Apple ID—to another service.
This service is available to customers in over 240 countries around the world for transfers to Google Photos.
You can request to transfer a copy of photos and videos you store in iCloud Photos to Google Photos. Transferring photos and videos from iCloud Photos doesn’t remove or alter the content you store with Apple, but sends a copy of your content to the other service.
The transfer process takes between three and seven days. We use this time to verify that the request was made by you, and to make the transfer.
Some data and formats available in iCloud Photos—such as Smart Albums, Live Photos, or some RAW files—may not be available when you transfer your content to another service. More information about what data is transferred is listed below.
Before you request to transfer photos and video
Before you request to transfer your iCloud Photos content, please make sure:
* You're using iCloud Photos to store photos and videos with Apple.
* Your Apple ID uses two-factor authentication.
* You have a Google account to use Google Photos.
* Your Google account has enough storage available to complete the transfer.
If you add more photos or videos to iCloud Photos before your data transfer starts, you’ll need additional space in your Google account to complete it. If your Google account runs out of space during the transfer, not all of your items will be transferred. If you add, update, or delete content after the transfer starts, or if your images and videos are still uploading, these changes or additions might not be included in the transfer.
Thanks!
