Move photos off paid cloud storage

The bot downloads your cloud photo library to a drive you own and sorts it, so you can drop to a cheaper storage plan.

Up to $200 a year as reported, with no screenshot · 1 case, 1 reports a saving

Starting prompt (adapted)

Download my full photo library from my cloud storage to the drive or folder I give you, sorted into folders by year. Check that the file count and total size match before telling me it's done. Do not delete anything from the cloud or change my storage plan; tell me which plan I could move to and what it costs, and I will decide.

Written for this site from what the cases below did. It is a starting point, not a prompt anyone posted. Fill in the parts in brackets.

What you still do

  • Provide a drive with enough space
  • Check the copy, then downgrade or cancel the storage plan

Where it tends to fail

  • Deleting cloud copies before checking the download can lose photos
  • The saving is a rough estimate, and you give up the cloud backup
