How can I access my iCloud from an Android?
My iPhone has a Mac or some sort of network to sync all the photos and videos that I took with it and upload them onto my personal account on icloud.
Com. I would like to sync them with an Android phone if possible. Is there a way for me to access all the information from my old phone and import them to my new phone through an API or something? Any suggestions or resources would be greatly appreciated.
Since you bought iOS devices when they were already synchronized via iCloud you didn't have to do anything and you can use them as if they are natively connected via wifi or the iPhone/iPad are available in your home network (which should be the case) as an adhoc connection. If you are using Windows, if is really easy. Use the Wifi Explorer for Windows for a GUI over SSH or the command line.
As @michael suggested, you are more or less limited regarding a non Apple device by the iOS iCloud Terms of Service which requires these devices: to have a direct connection to the Internet at all times; and. To have adequate data communications facilities, including telephone lines or connections to the nearest wireless service area, and access to other wireless network(s), if they exist; and. If a feature, application or device is provided by us, to access iCloud content to that feature, application or device must be enabled with a supported mobile device. So a real android device and/or network connection over the internet doesn't comply with it. To your question, if this is not your phone's problem, but the iOS device you are using, than the above two statements could have to be changed to be valid over non iOS devices as well. If this still doesn't work due to the required services being only provided by Apple, please note that you'll need to replace your router, because it is likely used for DHCP, IP forwarding and some other security requirements that you could not meet by means of an Android.
