I am sorry, seems that I wasn't patient enough. All photos have been downloaded, but now they exist twice on my NAS, one jpg-Version and the same HEIC-Version.

Is there anything that I missed? I would like to only have the jpg's on the NAS.

The utility is only capable of copying what exists in icloud. Using the HEIC to JPEG conversion function lets you download the original photos and then convert them to the quality of your choosing. If you delete the HEIC files, they will be redownloaded on the next run. If you delete the JPEG files, they will remain deleted.

I've not tested it, but I think you should be able to download JPEG files directly by setting photo_size=medium (instead of original, which will also be used if it's not set) in your config files.

These JPEG files will be at whatever quality/size they are stored in on icloud.com.
