Use case
As a user, I want to download the entire content of my iCloud account to have a local backup.
This means, as I own a 2TB account, I have to potentially download a lot of files and pictures. Unfortunately, this tool executes the file download sequentially which causes the sync job to last weeks.

Describe the solution you'd like
I would like to enable parallel downloads of files. This would shorten the script run time and allow a more frequent sync.

Describe alternatives you've considered
I could think of having different folders with different synchronisation times, to allow frequent updates for folders with frequent changes and sporadic updates for folders I use less.

But this solution is very cumbersome and forces me to decide beforehand which folders I want to keep synchronised more and less often.

asyncio is another option to use. But this will need icloudpy to support asyncio first. Here is the issue in icloudpy to track: mandarons/icloudpy#10
