I don't use iCloud but there are some services that allow you to keep photos, files, etc in the cloud even when these are removed from the original source. But this has to be setup in the cloud service ahead of it. Some other services also keep deleted files in a cloud trash bin when thes are deleted from source or directly in the cloud. I do think it is important for people to understand that cloud services are merely for syncing and can be used for backup in cases where the original source suddenly crashes or during hardware upgrades but in both cases data can be lost partially or in its entirety if the correct steps are not properly follow. My brother lost tons of pictures from a recent trip he made and then removing/deleting the files from his iPhone thinking all would be in iCloud. Worst part, he blamed me for his mistake. I guess that is what big brothers are here for.

On Windows, it is only possible to select up to 1000 photos. Only nothing happens, up to a 100 photos works relatively OK and then they are directly downloaded to your download folder as a ZIP file and not individual files. The claim that this procedure works on any platform is not true unfortunately!🤨

There is a small cloud in the lower right of each image and I get a pop up that says "Error downloading photo. An error occurred while loading a higher quality version of this photo. Please try again later." When I try to drag images to a folder on my iMac, it won't allow me to. I need to point out that this does not happen all the time. I can be dragging photos into a folder to use for a photo book and there is no problem. Then suddenly it won't let me. Very frustrating!
