Gimme-iPhotos

Download media files from iCloud.

This tool uses pyicloud to synchronize photos and videos from iCloud to your local machine.

Features

• Downloads media files from iCloud in parallel (might be beneficial on small files and wide bandwidth)
• Keeps local collection in sync with iCloud by:
  • skipping files which exist locally
  • removing local files which were removed from the cloud
• Reads configuration from ini-file
• Stores password in keychain (provided by pyicloud)
• Supports two-factor authentication
• Shows nice progress bars (thanks to tqdm)
