Q: Is there a way to automatically download all iCloud shared albums on the mac?

I have lots of shared albums, which have been categorized appropriately. I would like to keep a backup of those on my Mac at home. Is there any way to make it automatic?

iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.2)

    If you created them on the Mac then they are part of your Photos library and are backed up with your normal daily backup

     

    If they are other's shared albums then you have to import the into Photo and now they will be backed up with your standard daily backu[p

    Thanks.

    these are made on the iPhone. So when I open my photos on my

    macbook, I do see the pictures, but they are in the shared tab. I can always select all and add them to an album. But since I update these shared albums every other day, if I keep selecting all to import every other day, I will end up importing a lot of pictures repeatedly. Makes sense?

    maybe I am missing something.
