ICloud for Windows version 11 or later: Double-click a thumbnail to download the file. In this link (provided by zenzenoki in the comments) In the first picture I'm using v10, in the second v11. The issue appears to be with the versions I'm using.
If iCloud no longer works, is there some other program I can use? Probably not since it's Apple, but I figured it'd be worth a try.īasically, the iCloud storage is limited, don't want to increase it, and want an easy way without physically connecting the devices to the computer where they can have the photos backed up to their computer wirelessly, then locally view, share, or backup photos and videos onto an external hard drive.ĮDIT - Resolution, or at least cause follows: The kicker is it was working fine when I set it up for them 12-18 months ago. I don't know if I can include links in posts, but i'm putting one below for comparison between what SHOULD happen (and does on my desktop) and what IS HAPPENING on another computer I'm trying to setup iCloud on using a different apple account. Not even greyed out, it just doesn't exist. I want to set it up to download photos from my apple devices, but that option doesn't appear. I've uninstalled the app, I've made sure the computer is up to date, and I've restarted it a few times. iCloud won't even give me the options that it should. I can't seem to find anyone who has had an issue similar to what I'm having, I just keep finding the same unhelpful instructions on all the dozens of webpages I've visited. I just got the iCloud app from the Microsoft store (IDK why it's not available anywhere else, but that's another matter altogether).
