I am trying to select multiple photos in iCloud without having to click on each photo individually. Is there a way to do so?
Icloud.com
Hello Tiggertiffany,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
If you need to select multiple items on iCloud.com then you can use the common procedure to select multiple items by either holding Command or Shift on your keyboard.
To select multiple files or folders, hold down the Command (⌘) key, then click the items.
To select multiple files or folders that are listed together, click the first item you want to select, hold down the Shift key, then click the last item.

Have a great weekend,

These shortcuts where we use the shift, alt or command key do not work on a Macbook. There may be something broken in the code.
Do shift+crtl+alt keys and select the pics you want to download by mouse clicking them (not using arrow keys).
I tried that, but there is no “iCloud” folder or anything, and just deleting it from the device did not delete it from iCloud.
well said! But since these complaints have been around for a few years at least, I'm not holding my breath...
...irregardless of who can be the most sarcastic to their fellow posters on this thread let us not lose sight of the main idea; browser-based iCloud is shameful.
ALT button on PC rather than shift or Ctrl
Best practice is not to backup photos videos on Icloud. Instead every so often take them off your phone by syncing it to your pc, or just drag and drop which is much easier.
I do want to keep some of them on Icloud and synch across multiple devices. Now that the shift key no longer works I will be more judicious in what I keep there.
Correct, like every other windows/pc app in the world except Icloud photos.
Sorry, but this doesn't work with icloud.

Use the "Alt" Button and you can select Mutiple items, after that hit download.
That has been established and posted multiple times in this thread, including at the very top of this page.

Actually just the ALT key alone works.
