January 23, 20233 yr I'm using the icloudPD docker container to download my iCloud photo library. It's working but I am getting a lot of IOErrors. I've attached a sample below. I had thought it was maybe HDD speed but I turned on cache on a SSD and I'm still getting the errors, it doesn't appear they are related to file size either, it will download large videos fine, then fail on a basic .jpg or .heic image.

February 16, 20233 yr I've got the excat same problem. Did you fix it? At first I thought it was due to permissions but this doesn't seem to be the case. I've tried the other icloud-docker app and it worked right from the start. But the export there is not as beautiful because everything gets dumped in one folder.
February 17, 20233 yr Author It seems to have resolved itself after running for a few days. I'm getting working syncs now with no errors.
May 30, 20233 yr Hi, just tried icloudPD for the first time and had the same issue. I guess it's because of the user with UID 1000 which is used as Default in the Docker image. After setting the permissions on my target directory for this user, the error message did not occur again.
June 15, 20233 yr I currently have the same problem. This error is displayed in the log file: ERROR IOError while writing file to /home/user/iCloud You might have run out of disk space, or the file might be too large for your OS. Skipping this file... The strange thing is that the error is displayed but the files were definitely synchronized correctly in the path. 2023-06-15 14:42:53 ERROR IOError while writing file to /home/user/iCloud/2021/07/07/6DC5AAFC-897E-495E-976C-9E3022842FC2.jpg! You might have run out of disk space, or the file might be too large for your OS. Skipping this file... Does anyone have any ideas?
