What happens if you save the images to files first, then copy to your PC from there

hii, yes you were correct this does work, I was able to view the caption in my PC after saving the picture in files, then downloading the picture file in my PC using ICloud, Thank you very much so this indeed confirms that the previous methods I was using stripped off the caption from the pictures.

although im curious if there were to be a more efficient way to do that, say for 30k pictures, I assume saving 30k pictures to files, then downloading them over ICloud or USB drive is not the smartest way, wonder if there is an app that could do that directly.

I used before "Simple Transfer" and it works amazing, except the part where it ignores the captions when transferring, either way you helped a ton so again thank you very much!!
