I’m wondering if anyone has any experience with this?

I’m working on transitioning to Linux from Mac pretty casually and I’ll still be using this iPhone til it’s dead. So I’m figuring out solutions to my current computer-usage before I switch my main machine. I’d like to maintain some interoperability between my phone and desktop computer so this has me intrigued.

Is it well-maintained? Trustworthy? Easy to use?

I have an old Thinkpad T420 I’m testing stuff on before I take the plunge but I figured I’d ask before giving it my credentials.

Edit: thanks so much for all the advice. I’m going to try a couple different ways to do it and see what I like :)

    This just seems to be the web app in weird packaging, and you would get very little benefit installing it.

    Personally, I use an iPhone, and I just resort to the web app, and I can live with it. Not as fancy as on the Mac, but I manage. I’m able to access my Apple e-mails and photos just fine. I eventually just plan to jump the Apple ship, but like you, that’s not possible for me at the moment.

    As others have said, rclone might work for you, but I personally don’t use iCloud Drive, so I don’t know enough to speak about it.
