folder structure when using shared library

[blackfox33]

I could not manage to get my desired folder structure for the shared library. In the old container I got it like this: .../apple/iCloud_Backup_Shared/ and then year/month. For example: .../apple/iCloud_Backup_Shared/2023/12/file1234.heic

I managed to set Folder Structure: {:%Y/%m} by using libraries_with_dates: true. But now it does create a subfolder using the name of the shared library, so it looks like that: .../apple/iCloud_Backup_Shared/SharedSync-{ID_of_the_shared_library}/2023/12/file1234.heic

How can I get rid of the subfolder with the shared library ID and set it to the old structure?

Hi, are you using the 'iCloud Shared Photo Library' and is icloudpd downloading all photos and videos from the shared library?

Thanks!

Hi, yes I do and it is downloading all photos and videos correctly. It is just this subfolder with the name + ID from the Shared Library that I would like to get rid of and instead download to my desired directory.

Cool, I understand and using a quick network web inspector I could find my ID. Thanks for your prompt reply!

For some reason is my icloudpd not downloading the items from the shared library. I have tried photo_library="all libraries" and "PrimarySync,SharedSync-########-####-####-####-############". So far only my personal library was 100% synced.. Do you want to share your anonymised config with me please?

I see that you opened your own issue as this belongs not here. I will reply to you there.

Possible you missing that config: libraries_with_dates: true ? Is default to false and I get into the same problem and read that. @blackfox33 @rustig136

Hello @mafis I appreciate your feedback greatly—it worked wonders. I have to confess that initially, the new setting didn't take effect when I added it to the compose-docker.yml file as an environment variable. However, upon closer inspection of the icloudpd.conf, I noticed "libraries_with_dates:false." This led me to believe that the new setting wasn't applied. After manually modifying the conf file, everything started working as anticipated, and I now have my two libraries in the folder structure as desired.

Thank you very much!
