Hello ,
I have a GoPro Hero 8 that I use for skiing and snowboarding videos.
When I import videos from the GoPro to the MacBook Air M1, the transfer is fast over USB.

The problem is the synchronization to iCloud photo which is extremely slow.
I'm looking at the MacBook's iCloud throughput, and it's running at ko/s.
However, I did a speedtest and there were no upload or download problems.
I have fibre optic 1 gbit/s and my wifi runs between 450 and 600 mbit/s .

What can I do to send my GoPro videos to iCloud photo more quickly?

Thanks
