iCloud-docker (previously known as iCloud-drive-docker) is a simple iCloud client in Docker environment. It uses iCloudPy python library to interact with iCloud server.

Primary use case of iCloud-docker is to periodically sync wanted or all of your iCloud drive, photos using your iCloud username and password.

Please note that this application only downloads the files from server. It does not upload the local files to the server (yet).
