I really liked Google Photos. The problem is all my pictures are on Apple Photos (on iCloud, not on my mac, and I don't have enough storage to download it all). I would like to transfer it. I hope someone solves my problem.

If you really want this, rent a VPS for a few hours/days and use it as temporary storage.

Does anyone how to manually create a Pano (panorama) image? Auto Awesome does this for most of the photos I make but it failed to do so it for a few. Is there a way to select the photos that should be pano and have "the machine" have another scan over them to see if it can stitch them together?

Click menu in top left and then load assistant. In top right click plus and you can create 'awesomes' from there.

A seedbox would be ideal. $10 will get your more than enough speed and storage for the transfer.

How do I do that. I.e. how can i export all photos/videos from my iCloud Photos Library to a VPS ?
