Backing up everything in iCloud to a drive?

[kat.hayes]

During the recent madness, I am letting my 5-yr old use an old iPad to do school work. I created an iCloud account and have been copying PDF files and videos to it. I have spent a lot of time organizing everything into weekly folders and subfolders. How can I back everything up to some hard drive? Is there someway to download everything from iCloud to a computer? I do not have a computer logged into the same iCloud account since I made the account just for the school work, though I could log in through a web browser?

Thanks.

Logging into iCloud on a computer is by far the easiest way. On a Mac you could create a new user account just for that, so you don't mess up the iCloud Drive of your main account. You can also use a PC via the iCloud Windows app. Once you have that set up, you can simply backup the iCloud Drive folder just like any other folder.

Can't believe I didn't think of making a new user account on the computer to add a new iCloud account...

Thanks!
