What is the best way to transfer data from my iCloud onto my computer?

Hello


Over the years, I have stored all manner of files in my Apple iCloud.


Is there a 'simple' way to transfer all such data back onto my computer's hard drive?


I have an iMac, running macOS Ventura 13.5, with almost 2 TB of free space right now.


My photos are already accessible, as are my Notes.


How would you deal with such a task?

iMac (2017 – 2020)
