Is there a way to select ALL photos in iCloud to download them to PC? Having to select them one at a time is ridiculous.

iCloud storage is almost full and I am trying to clear out all the pictures by putting them onto my PC. I have not been able to just select all of them at once. Then I have to go back and select each one again to delete. This is super tedious and time consuming. There has to be an easier way! Please help.

This has to be the worst piece of software I have ever used - not to have a Select All is moronicly shortsighted! How can this have passed any form of User Acceptance Testing! It must be a ploy to force you to upgrade your storage!

I was a Microsoft Guy in my first experience with Apple products and services. I agree with you: it's totally basic in a good environment to work files the SELECT ALL and other features. I have it in ONEDRIVE.


Other bad experience is about Apple mandatory apps that it's impossible to uninstall in my IPhone, IPad and Apple Watch. Frustration!!!


And people criticize a lot Microsoft !!! Apple is similar or worst...

I agree. It's ridiculous to have to download only one photo at a time. Any other smart, user friendly piece of technology would allow all photos to be downloaded at once into a zip file at the very least, or allow you to select groups of them even. But this one at a time thing is utterly ridiculous and makes absolutely no sense. For photographers or just anyone who has a lot of photos, this is a nightmare.
