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???

I have searched the existing issues, both open and closed, to make sure this is not a duplicate report. Yes The bug I have found similar issues, but they are closed. Unfortunately this is still hap...

@luana i think most of these software things assume you have a mac device to begin the upload on because that's the only way to reasonably get access to the full image library
@niko I could use a macOS VM if it doesn't require downloading everything to the VM itself at the same time. Otherwise it'd require me to have a mac with at least 2TB free storage
@luana yeah it requires it on disk usually since then the images are stored in an easily accessible database
