Downloading Files from iCloud to a Computer

To download files from iCloud to your computer, you’ll need to first log in to your iCloud account using your Apple ID and Password. Once logged in, click on the files you want to transfer to the PC, such as “Photos” or “Documents.” To select all the files for download, click on the first file once the tab opens and then select “Ctrl+A” on a Windows computer or “Command+A” on a Mac. You can also choose individual files by holding down the “Ctrl” key while selecting each file you want to download.

Depending on how many files are being downloaded and their size, it may take several minutes for all of them to be transferred.

Once you’ve chosen a location inside On My iPhone, the document will be saved and ready for use.

Does iCloud Automatically Download to Mac?

Yes, iCloud Photos automatically downloads your photos to your Mac. iCloud Photos stores all of your photos in iCloud, and then when you access them from any Apple device—including your Mac—the photos are automatically downloaded. This makes it easy to view the same set of photos across all of your devices, without needing to manually upload or download them.

Troubleshooting Issues with iCloud Documents Not Showing on Mac

There are a few possible reasons why your iCloud documents may not be showing up on your Mac. First, make sure that you are signed into iCloud on your Mac by going to System Preferences -> Apple ID and checking that iCloud is selected under “Apps using iCloud.” If there is an “Options…” button next to iCloud, click it and make sure that Desktop & Documents Folders is enabled.

If you have recently upgraded to macOS Sierra or High Sierra, then you may need to move your Desktop and Documents folders into the iCloud Drive folder. To do this, open Finder, go to the Go menu at the top of the screen, and select “iCloud Drive”. Then drag the Desktop and Documents folders into the iCloud Drive folder.

Finally, if none of these steps work then try turning off iCloud Document syncing in System Preferences -> Apple ID -> iCloud and restarting your Mac. After restarting turn syncing back on again.

Downloading Files from iCloud

Yes, files can be downloaded from iCloud. To do so, open the iCloud Drive app on your device and select the file you wish to download. You can then click the download button or select “Download a Copy” to save the file to your computer or device. Alternatively, if you are using a Mac, you can drag and drop files directly from the iCloud Drive folder into another folder on your computer. The downloaded file will remain in your iCloud Drive unless you delete it manually.
