Depending on what type of phone, it can be simple to open the CameraRoll
folder through a USB cable. In Android, you may have to explicitly
authorize the use of USB for anything beyond charging.

On iPhone, Windows can mount the entire iCloud Photos database as a
folder in "This PC" (or "My Computer" or what they call it this year.
On Linux, there is "icloudpd", a python program that can grab the last
several hundred new photos from an iCloud account. I have used both.
