UNSOLVED Synchronizing one folder from iCloud to the raspberry pi

[MajorC]

Hi,

is there a good way to synchronize only one folder from my iCloud drive to the raspberry pi? I would like to have a dedicated folder to show pictures on my MM.

Thank you,

Christian

@sdetweil That looks good. Now I have to figure out how to run this.

I did:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y python

to get python on my pi.

Than I did:

git clone https://github.com/icloud-photos-downloader/icloud_photos_downloader.git
cd icloud_photos_downloader

That gives me the downloader in the folder.
But when I run in the icloud_photos_downloader-folder something like

icloudpd /your/photos/directory \
  --username my@mail.com \
  --password password \
  --recent 5 \
  --auto-delete

nothing happend.

@MajorC I would be talking to the tool developer thru issues on the tools GitHub page.

maybe there are other issues already

I know nothing about icloud drive
