How do you select multiple photos in iCloud?

Thanks, but even when I have 1000s of pics selected, and by comon sense i push the download buton in browser

its opening 1000s of dialog windows to select destination, in case of google or gmail, thers an option to download all together in a folder or zip downloading.

Anyways .. dont You think that this class of product needs to be more intuitive ?

for example. when You are in icloud.com u can navigate tu albums or pics, when You are into the album You can select , but in albums root i cant select by album... A logic question- WHY ?

why should i ask You to help me to download my own fotos from my own phone to my own PC... ?

A logic question- WHY ?

The iCloud web interface is not meant to be the main access to download all your photos to your computer. It is a tool to browse your photos, if you cannot access your computer and to download a few photos if you cannot get access to your main Photos Library.

But the more convenient way to download your photos from your iPhone to a mac is to use the Photos.app on the mac. And if you are using a different brand of computer consider to use My Photo Stream to transfer new photos wirelessly.

Shift does not work to select multiple photos that are sequential in iCloud Photos. Can only use command and must click them individually. There must be a faster way to select multiple (but not all) sequential photos--at least I hope there is.

I used to use the shift key all the time to select a range of photos to download from the icloud. Why is this function gone? Why would you take away a perfectly good, universally known function? This user is very annoyed!

Thanks for letting me know. I'll post my feedback, because sometimes I need to access my iCloud/Photos from browser (my work notebook has Windows installed) and it would be useful select multiple images using shift and delete them when you are not using Photos app in macOS.

Pretty sure you should have said "moment" rather than "album" in your explanation. As of Jan 2018 you can do this to select all images in a moment. The mysterious +/square icon pair is only shown in a Moment.

Apple is not here. And the answer to your question is you don't, except by using the workarounds recommended in this thread. If you wish to share your feelings with Apple, do so here: Apple - Feedback

Could you use the Photos application on your Mac? It is much easier to organize edit and select pictures through that rather than going through iCloud.com

My suggestion earlier to use the ALT key was specific to people who are on PCs and don’t have access to photos app via OS X

ALT key is helpful, but you still have to click on each picture individually. If you have hundreds or (as one user did) thousands, it can be a pain. An example might be a whole bunch of pictures that you took from a vacation, or perhaps all the pics you've taken for the past few months.

@Apple -- Why not use SHIFT for a selection series or CTRL for non-contiguous individual selections? This is already a universal standard. Please fix this.

For a significant period of time (at least 10-12 months) this functionality stopped working. Thats why this post will live on For our children, and grandchlren to gripe upon. At the start, you could select “photo 5,” hold shift, then select “photo 10,” and all the photos in between would be selected as well. That function was far too useful to remain.

Yes, You can. I found out how. Here is the steps you need to follow:

Log in to Icloud, Open your photos. Then, open the album you want to download the pictures from. Then after, Press on (FN,Option,and Command) at the same time and start clicking on the photos you want to download. Done

Let me know if it works for you

yes, you can use alt to select 150 photos by holding down alt and clicking 150 times. Issue is to be able to click on first and last, i.e. using the shift key, as with almost every other software/platform for windows. I hope that is clear.

You can download each "moment" with one click. Choose the "select moment" on the right and then download.

It will still download each image individually, but with just the one click.

That doesn't works now, maybe some deploy broke it...
