How do you select multiple photos in iCloud?

On my Mac it is simple to select multiple photos, just (using your mouse) draw a box around the 'wanted' photos.

Thus:

I am not able to do this

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.

On my PC is working to use SHIFT + CTRL buttons together - you have to click on each selected photo while keeping pushed these two buttons....

I just found that holding the Alt key allows me to select multiple photos in iCloud. I still have to select each photo, but it keeps several highlighted so I can delete a bunch at the same time.

I was able to select multiple individual photos by holding down "Alt" and clicking the individual photos in the web interface on a PC.

I see this is an old thread but still an issue. Now when I use the control button it doesn’t let me select multiple pictures one at a time, unreal.

I found a work around when you select to share the pictures from a particular moment they all get highlighted, then close out the social media share pop up and hit download.

It’s really annoying though that a company like Apple can’t master an everyday function that people use on a regular basis.

Hi!
If you are using iCloud website within Windows or Linux, you CAN select several pictures (or other elements) using the alt key;

Clicking on the first one and then clicking one by one and maintaining the alt key pressed down, though.

Hope it helps.

ITS ICLOUDS BUSSINES MODEL TO MAKE IT HARD TO ACCESS!!

On a Mac Apple is providing a very easy way to download your Photos from iCloud. Use the Photos.app on a device that can access iCloud and run Photos. In Photos on a Mac it is easy to select thousands of photos at once and to export them from iCloud. Photos on www.icloud.com is very limited and I would only use it, when I am away from my Mac and need access to some of my photos in iCloud.

I don't know about iCloud for Windows (https://support.apple.com/en-ie/HT204283), but there must be some method as well.

At this point, using the moment is the only known way of bulk selection.

On a pc you have to use the ALT key now

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.
