Export iCloud Photo Library (lemm.ee)

Hi, I’m wondering what the best way would be to make a backup of my iCloud Photo Library, consisting of about 60.000 pictures. If I try to export them from my computer, it tries to download them all and I don’t have enough disk space by far.

Thanks! I’m backing up just in case. I try to do that with all my important data

If you end up copying the photo library file to an external volume, be sure to hold down “option” next time you launch photos.app—that will let you select the new location for the photo Library.
