How to move lots of photos from iCloud to hard drive? How do I move photos from iCloud onto a hard drive WITHOUT selecting photos one by one and downloading them? When I got my first phone, I was added to my moms icloud, where I accumulated 16,000 pictures and a few hundred videos. She would now like to delete this icloud account and stop paying for storage, but it would take me so much time to move 30-60 photos at a time. Is there anyway to move larger chunks of photos or all of them at one time? Please help! Thanks
