Can I keep only a few original pictures on devices with iCloud photo library?

Hello. I do not use iCloud library but I wonder if starts using it.

I have about 150 pictures of GB that I keep on my Mac and I would have the best of them synced on my device iOS for very fast availability.

I see that iCloud library settings allow user to retain the original or to optimize the storage device iOS.

As it is too keep 150GB on my iPhone, but at the same time I would like to have original photos for some albums, is it possible to make a selection of what to keep on the iPhone than the original?

Finally, do you have an idea of how much space is used on the device if "Optimizes iPhone storage" is selected and only the bulky versions are stored on the iPhone? Let's say, for the original photo of 100 GB, how do need me for optimizes it versions?

As it is too keep 150GB on my iPhone, but at the same time I would like to have original photos for some albums, is it possible to make a selection of what to keep on the iPhone than the original?

It is dynamic. Photos will optimize original, if you need more storage. It will keep the pictures that you used most recently and optimize photos more old ones, which were not seen in a long time.  But you have no control over which photos will be optimized and what pictures will be full size.

Finally, do you have an idea of how much space is used on the device if "Optimizes iPhone storage" is selected and only the bulky versions are stored on the iPhone? Let's say, for the original photo of 100 GB, how do need me for optimizes it versions?

It is not documented and will depend on the size of your original photos. You will save more, if the originals are very large.

But it has been reported here that optimization reduced the size of the library about 10% of the original size. Up to 10 GB should be sufficient in your example.

  • How to handle Monster pictures 30 K in iCloud photo library? Segment or archive, suggestions?

    Hi there-

    I managed to hang a new iPhone 7 now and want to put up, but I'm struggling under the weight of a photo 32 000 iCloud photo library. Yes, I know it's my fault - we had iPhones for years, I'm an accountant family and the taker of the photo, I take too many pictures, I save too many photos, I have teenage girls who take a LOT of pictures.

    SO I think they are in the library of iCloud.  When I'm on my phone with iOS 10, I see "All Photos" and the total is slightly less than 32K - BUT I don't really need TO see all 32,000?  In fact, I don't really want to?  I would like to know that they are saved in their original resolution, but never need access to all those who, on minutes notice: they took 10 years to build up!

    Can I 'archive' in iCloud library?  They segment somehow?

    I have 7 more than 256 GB iPhone memory - isn't a storage thing, it's just something exaggerated.  I'm considering a facility clean b/c I'm also about 1000 apps more than 10 years old.

    But once I sign in iCloud, I think that 30K pictures will come streaming back, right?

    Other info:

    -My use of Photos on my 6 current iPhone is about 40 GB

    -J' have 800 GB available on a 1 TB iCloud account

    -In my iCloud account, it says that my photo library ICloud is 97 GB

    -I don't have an unlimited Smugmug Pro with photo storage account (although I'm not really all 32K of these-there are many who are not guards).

    -J' I download Google Photos to try to save it, but there still 30 000 pictures to back up.

    -J' have a MacBook Air but (gulp) do not have upgraded the operating system to have Photos for Mac yet.

    I would really appreciate it here a road map to get out of this situation - or not "stack" putting them all on my 256 GB iPhone 7 more and just accumulating more!

    Thanks in advance for the help!

  • IPhone Photo: can I delete on the Iphone, but who will remove them icloud Photos

    I want to assure you that try to save space on my Iphone or Ipad, I not permanently erase the photos on my photo library iCloud. Just recently, I migrated iPhoto Photos and raised my iCloud to 200 GB storage. My iPhoto library is large (several years photos) to 72 GB. Since my Ipad and Iphone are connected to this library iCloud, I don't want to go beyond memory on these two smaller devices (Iphone and Ipad). My MBP has lots of storage and that was my main place to keep the photos. Any suggestions on how to handle this would be greatly appreciated.

  • iCloud-photo library: only use it as backup?

    I finally got serious about my photo library to backup to the cloud. Because I have Apple products, it seems that iCloud photo library would make the most sense. And with the recent drop in prices, it is now affordable.

    But here's what I can't determine after reading articles: I don't really have interest in what my library that is available to me through devices. My interest in iCloud is simply as a back-up for my photos, in case my house burns down. Can I then turn on iCloud photo library for Photos on my Mac, but leave it for my iPhone and iPad? My concern is that even an optimized thumbnail for almost 15 years of images would take too much memory on my mobile. I'd rather keep manually import the photos that I take on my iPhone for pictures with sync and let the pics to save them from there.

    Who is?

    And the video also back - up iCloud photo library, right?

    Yes, you can turn on or off on a per-device basis, and Yes, it synchronizes videos.

  • Disabled by mistake to iCloud photo library and he turned his back.  Still says it will remove pictures

    I disabled the iCloud photo library photos & soft adjustment camera, as well as any type of sharing.  I need try to free 13 GB of space which has been monopolized by ghost photos that were not on any device or even show in icloud.com.  Restarted the phone, the data was retrieved, and I re-enabled all elements in parameters, including iCloud photo library of photo sharing.  iCloud library, Optimize iPhone/iPad, storage, Upload to my photo stream, download Photos of Burst, iCloud, sharing photos, pictures to summarize all lit up.

    The question I have is that I see the message:

    "iCloud photo library will be removed from iCloud in 28 days.  Choose to download and keep the originals below to download a full copy of your photos and videos. »

    That's fine, I have all my saved photos.  What I find that I am able to do is add any (as via iCloud.com Photos), as the 'Upload' button is grayed out and the same message appears on the header of the photos app page.

    I want to reset it.  I thought that turn everything would have been fine.  But it seems to be stuck.  I activated on all devices.  It's frustrating because it is preventing me from getting things done on the fly, I'm used to because I can't upload pictures in the Photos app.

  • can I switch from icloud photo library app photos without losing the photos

    I have my settings so that all my photos have been removed from iTunes and are now accessible via the iCloud library, but I don't like the way they are stored in all THE PICTURES rather than in their respective albums that I spent hours and hours of sorting.

    If I drag iCloud photo Library, everything returns to how it was (basically, my photos will appear on my iPad in their albums?)

    The images are not stored in iTunes, so I don't know what you removed and hence. Your photos and your videos are stored and organized in the Photos app, on your computer and on your iDevices. iCloud library is how they are synchronized between all of your devices. This includes your albums. If you don't see any albums on your iPad, maybe not looking in the right place? One caveat is that you have nested folders.

    You can disable iCPL on your iPad and then return to using iTunes to sync photos, but like I said, you should see your albums with iCPL.

  • I can't see albums in iCloud photo library

    I just moved my library of Photos from Mac to use iCloud photo library. All my photos (over 26,000) transferred successfully from my iMac library and I can see them on my iPhone and iPad. However, none of my smart Albums appear at all. The only albums in the iOS app are "All Photos", ' Selfies', 'Videos', recently deleted ' and a folder called "iPhoto", containing a small number of old imported albums in iPhoto. These albums are working but they are created by the system in a matter of a y. I created dozens of smart Albums on my Mac, some in subfolders in 'Albums' and some 'Albums' root, but none of them shows at all. The subfolders containing the albums appear but when I open them, I see is "empty folder: this folder contains no albums'." Does anyone know how to fix this?

    The photos full size will always go to the cloud. They also remain on (or download) your Mac depends on if 'Download this Mac originals' or 'Optimize Mac storage' is ticked in Photos > Preferences > iCloud. If it is enabled, it also depends on how much storage is available on your Mac.
