Ask a question about backing up iPhone photo albums to third-party cloud disks

After paying for a subscription to the iCloud service, when there are too many photos to be stored on the mobile phone, the optimized storage is turned on, and the original photo will be stored in the cloud. There is only a smaller version of the snapshot locally. If you want to see the original image, it will be temporarily loaded from the cloud.
For safety reasons, I want to back up my photos to a third-party cloud disk at the same time, such as Alibaba Cloud Disk, which does have the function of automatically backing up photo albums.
Here comes the problem, because the original photos are all stored in the iCloud cloud, and there is only a smaller version of the snapshot locally. Does Alibaba Cloud Disk automatically back up just the smaller version of the snapshot, not the original film? If so, is there any way to make the third-party cloud disk also backup the original?

Anonymous360 Mar 14, 2025Recently, I want to back up all the data on iCloud, especially the photos, which are close to 700G. The backup application has been submitted, and it is a long download process. I would like to ask you, is NAS reliable? Will the mechanical hard disk speed be too slow? The current mobile hard drive is the 2T Sandisk E81.

Anonymous6063 Mar 14, 2025@ Anonymous663 I think it's quite good. It's free of traffic charges, fast speed, and cheap even if it charges. The functions of the app are a bit complicated, but after all, it is mainly used for backup, so it can be tolerated. I hope Mobile doesn't cut this business.

Anonymous360 Mar 14, 2025@ Anonymous1960 It's troublesome not to be able to check the solid state at any time. At present, the most worry-free thing is iCloud, but I'm worried that if the data volume exceeds 2T in the later period, there will really be no bottom, so I want to get off the ship early.
