Hi, recently I have backed up my iPhone data to iCloud. But when I logged into my iCloud account on PC I cannot access all my pictures stored in iCloud. How do I access my iCloud and get the whole iCloud backup files on my computer? Anyone can help me, please? Thank you!

Josh may not notice that although iCloud can upload and store any type of iPhone data, some data stored on iCloud still cannot be accessible because Apple doesn't let you do it. Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Notes, Keychain, Photos, Documents & Data, Find My iPhone and Device Backups, these are all accessible data in iCloud.com. If you need to check on more content like videos, apps, wallpaper etc. in iCloud, you might need to use another way to see and retrieve iCloud files.

FonePaw iPhone Data Recovery (opens new window) is an alternative for you. It is an excellent iCloud Backup Extractor which enables you to extract all synced iPhone data on iCloud. Not like the iCloud Control Panel and the iCloud website which only allow users to access part of the iCloud data, this program empowers users to view and download the complete files from iCloud. Now let's follow the steps in this article to access whatever you want from the iCloud backup.
