ending the cloud service

[zoran]

I wish to end the Apple Cloud service for my photos and videos, cause im not using them enough, and i wish to download the photos/videos i have there in order to save them to my drive. How do u suggest in doing so, and when its terminated can i open it back again sometime?

I believe once it is terminated you will lose the data so it should be carefully backed up first. I suppose you can follow these instructions to download them to the Photos app and then export them into a folder separately.
