When using the iCloud Windows Sync Client you have the option to also download 'high-efficiency' files. This means that the iCloud Client will not only download files in JPG
and MOV
format but will also additionally download these files in HEIF
format. HEIF
is great because it compresses better, but it is not as platform-compatible as JPG
.
Unfortunately, there is no option in the iCloud Client to only download files in HEIF
format.
This scrpt checks if the same file is available in HEIF
format and will subsequentely delete the corresponding JPG
or MOV
file.
Please use the Windws 7/8 version of the iCloud Windows Tool. The newer Version do not allow you to download your complete photo library.
