We ended up building a two-step sync, once from the cloud and once from the local disk. Then merged it all into a single database table that we then paged into memory for infinite scrolling.

Photos Android app had it's own unique challenge because it was trying to be the default way to view photos on the phone, and a seamless cloud photo library at the same time.
