Beware that migrating back from Immich to iCloud/Google is not something Immich cares about. There is no "download all" anywhere, best way is to go to the server and get raw files from there.

They’re literally on a disk drive I can physically touch. I think I can figure out a migration strategy for that.

A download button would be great but the files are already stored on the device you can copy them with a usb or go on the device and upload it directly.

what do you mean download all? its your server over your files. If you want them, go get them! Or just point google / apple / whatever upload at your library directory.

maybe I fail to see your point, but following the link, then https://github.com/immich-app/immich/discussions/5068 is referenced which is resolved by pr https://github.com/immich-app/immich/pull/18878 adding bulk download functionality (may have manually select all to bulk download, unsure). At any rate I don't see where they say explicitly that they are against it

There’s no download all in apple photos either unless they added it

		CMD-A then export all X unmodified originals works fine

		And yet, the same is true for Apple photos about ease of export: If you set the pref to keep originals locally, they're all on your drive, in original form, as well as the derived versions including caches of raw to jpeg, resolutions, and edited versions. That said, Apple Photos does let you export even if only in cloud. Open the library, select all, and File > Export ... > Export Unmodified Originals. It pauses for a second or two on my quarter million images, but is then happy to comply.
