Use a Third-Party App

Lastly, there are a handful of third-party apps that you can use to tap into your iCloud Photos and shuttle selected images and videos between devices. Apps like Simple Transfer or Photo Transfer can make transferring media quick and easy.

If you’re moving to another cloud storage service for your photos, then it’s also worth checking out whether it offers its own import from iCloud Photos. Many apps for services like Amazon Photos and Dropbox have photo upload features that can transfer over your entire photo library via your iPhone or iPad.
