download 6,000 pictures from the icloud to external memory

Hi,

I'm trying to download images from the Cloud to an external memory attached to my computer But the only option I see is to select an image picture and transfer to memory one by one. I have about 6,000 pictures :

can i move them all in one shot ?

iPhone 7, iOS 11.0.3

One option would be to open Photos with the option/alt key held down and create a new system Library on the external. Once everything is downloaded, reopen Photos with the option/alt key held down, and switch back to the Library on your internal drive. Switch as required/desired.


Article if for iPhoto, but the basics are the same.
