Description
Expected behaviour
Nextcloud should download the full resolution photo from iCloud using the iCloud API and then upload this to the next cloud server.
Actual behaviour
Currently it only creates an archive of the low-res image and uploads this (usually around 700k > 900)
Steps to reproduce
- Enable the option to upload Photos
- Select Upload the whole camera roll

Research direction
Start by tracing the iOS photo-upload flow and its iCloud asset download path. Reproduce with iOS Optimised Storage enabled and whole-camera-roll upload selected. Done means the app downloads and uploads the full-resolution photo rather than the low-resolution archive.
