Thanks for the pointer to icloudpd[1]! Looks very useful. Do you actually run it on your Synology?

I've enabled the "Download originals to this Mac..." option in Photos, which then gets backed up using Backblaze, but obviously that takes a ton of space on my Mac that I could be using for something else.

Yeah, it "just works" in Synology's built-in Docker support on their models with Intel CPUs.

I used to use the "download originals" option until my photo library started exceeding the storage in any of my Macs...
