"Hello MIUI users, I wrongly deleted my SD card, and fortunately, my 1979 photos are in Mi Cloud. I can access them on i.xiaomi.com and also in my Cloud album. My question is how to download them all because the site allows only 100 pics each time? Is it possible to move my Mi Cloud to Gallery, on my phone, for example, since I can see them all offline? Thank you for the answer."
