Thanks, annoyingly it seems like there's no automated solution for photos.

Setting up a Smart Folder in MacOS may work but it’s been a long time since I’ve used them. I use rsync to backup photos to my NAS. It looks like you can use rsync on an iCloud directory.[1] I just ordered a new MacBook Pro and plan to use them method for my NAS and to iCloud.

I sync photos with my google account. I realize it’s not ideal, but at least something.

You can set Photos.app to download all photos locally (on the Mac at least)

There is a Photos program Apple makes for Windows, and I think it has the same option.
