Okay, heeeeelp, how the fuck am I supposed to upload almost 230k photos from iCloud Photos to my NAS?

  • Keeping all metadata and original files (HEIC, HEVC, HEIF, etc)
  • Keeping live photos videos

Considering that:

  • Without using immich app because it's buggy as fuck and completely shits itself after a few uploads thousand
  • Without using the nextcloud app because it removes metadata from videos when autouploading
  • Without using iCloud Takeout because not only that separates all metadata from the files with the sole purpose of making your life harder requiring some script to fix which apparently only works on mac, but also that would require me to download God knows how many zips from Apples website totaling almost 3TB

Someone help should I just accept that I'll just lose 230k pictures because no one seems to make a software that works properly???

https://github.com/IsmaeelAkram/icloud-linux might help. I don't have any iCloud knowledge but a fuse filesystem was my first thought.

I'd aim to dump it into a physical drive and then copy from that into your final storage location. That way you don't have to go back to iCloud

@bigolewannabe That seems to be for icloud drive, not icloud photos
