Hi monkar57,


It seems you're trying to download your Photos content from iCloud, and we can help.


You have all the correct options set up from the looks of your screenshot.


Next, follow these steps:

"New photos and videos you add to iCloud Photos will automatically download to your PC. You can also download your collection by year when you follow these steps:

  1. Open a File Explorer window.
  2. Under Favorites, click iCloud Photos.
  3. Click Download photos and videos.
  4. Choose the photos and videos you want to download and click Download.

Your photos and videos download to the location you set in iCloud Photos Options."
