  It seems you want to use iCloud photo library as an archive of photos. It was not intended for this use.

  iCloud Photo library FAQ - Apple Support

  It is designed to allow you to have full access to your library without having to choose which photos and videos you store on which devices because it connects to your library using iCloud to all your devices, you registered this service. You can choose the option to Optimize Storage iPhone, which will automatically replace your photos in full resolution with optimized for your phone free storage.  Such use allows to my 64 GB iPhone store more 18 000 photos and 877 videos with fast access on my iPhone and elsewhere, while occupying only 4.8 GB on my physical device. The library full resolution resumes of more than 112 GB of storage which I can access in iCloud.com, on my computer, or by requesting the download of contents of high resolution on my iPhone with that I will make.

  Otherwise, if this does not work for you, you can use other services, such as Dropbox, archive your library, so you can completely remove the photos from your iPhone. If you deleted pictures from your iPhone now, they would delete the iCloud photo library so that he be kept in sync as your Contacts or Notes.

• use iCloud photo library to dropbox mimics auto upload

  Hello world

  I recently decided to ditch dropbox (if possible) and finally the transition myself completely to iCloud.

  One of the biggest problems I encountered replicates the capabilities of automatic download of pictures of the box. I use the feature all day on the job for sending and attaching photos to technical support documents and really don't want to start to send me photos for quick access on my work PC.

  I wonder if its possible to allow to iCloud photo library on ONLY my iPhone, so my Camera Roll is sent to the library automatically, but nothing else. I have a 500 GB photo library on my Mac at home that I have in no way shape or form, would be affected by iCloud.

  I hesitate to pull the trigger and just turn on my phone, I'm not sure implications, and what will exactly happen. The online documentation is so vauge what you can and can't do with iCloud photo library, so I'm tender hand to the community for advice.

  In simple terms (TL; DR), that's what I'm trying to accomplish.

  -use iCloud photo library on my iPhone ONLY to reproduce the functionality of automatic download of Dropbox IE: access iPhone Camera roll on work PC and my Mac.

  -do NOT use on my Mac library (more than 500 GB)

  Please let me know,

  Thank you

  -Aaron

  You can turn on iCloud photo library only on your iPhone if it's what you want. The photos will be automatically download in iCloud. Note that if you delete a photo of either on the phone or iCloud it will be automatically removed in both places.

  You can access photos of your work PC or Mac connecting to https://www.icloud.com/ , then go on the Photos app here.

• Should I Photostream if I use iCloud photo library

  Hi, I use iCloud library on my MBP, two iPhones and iPad and I still active Photostream.

  I'll try to find our knowledge if I need Photostream as well as use iCloud.  I have more than enough storage for the moment in the cloud then from what I can tell Photostream is not something that would fail me if I turned it off.  At the same time, I can't find a definitive answer anywhere!

  Grateful that if ever I decide to stop using the cloud, I can turn Photostream for my last few thousand photos.

  I also try to work if there is anyway that I can reduce the amount of space on my iPhone which currently takes about 13 GB of photo library.

  Any help would be welcome.

  Thank you

  Matt

  If you do not use my Photo Stream, turn off all devices.

  You need my photo only, stream if you also use older devices with iOS 7 or more, which can not support iCloud photo library. But if all your devices are set to synchronize with iCloud photo library, you don't need my photo stream. It might even cause problems.

• Help to use ICloud photo library

  I created iCloud photo library on my computer desktop Mac, 2 iPhones (mine and my husband) and iPad.   I have several questions:

  1. I have 56 779 pictures in my library on my Mac.  It is has been download since last Friday and today says download 35 939 points (89,14 GB 200,61 GB).  Why is - it take so long and what I can do to speed that up?  I want access to my photos on all devices, but want the originals on my Mac as well.

  2. the photos taken on my iPhone not charge other devices.  Photos of my husband takes is... two phones are put in the same place.

  3. on my phone at the title 'Moments' my phone says 6 322 photos, 133 videos and under that it says download 3 929 points.  His phone said 23 974 photos, 207 videos updated 07:19 - once AGAIN the two phones are put in the same place (I changed the settings even last week when I updated our two phones for the latest operating system).

  4. on my Mac why their different images in 'All the Photos' under 'Albums' in the Photos listed by Date?

  5. on my iPhone - why different Albums show on my Mac?  Example: We just returned from a trip and this week I put in place several new albums.  They do not appear on other devices in the title of the Album?

  6. do I need to move the picture on our iPhones to somewhere else on the Mac, so keep them forever?  I don't want pictures endangered?  I have more confidence?

  I would appreciate help, can someone give me?  I'm completely lost?

  My system is an Early 2008 iMac

  OS X El Capitan 10.11.4

  IPhone 6 - 9.3.1

  Photos 1.5

  I have original ICloud library checked and updated download for Mac. I also have my Photo Stream and ICloud Photo sharing checked.

  Thank you very much!!!

  1. the download process is very slow. Some of those who have large libraries of photos posted it took a month. There is nothing you can do to speed up the process except try to minimize access to the network on the computer.

  2. try to settings/iCloud and remove the synchronization. Wait a few minutes and then resynchronize. Have you tried the signature to iCloud and then reconnect?

  3 see above.

  To avoid losing images make sure you have 2 backups of the computer on 2 separate drives.

• must anyone using iCloud photo sharing have an Apple device

  The family has an iPhone or a Mac computer.  Some computers are older and do not work elCapitan.  Should everyone have an Apple elCapitan device to use sharing photos running?

  You can view sharing photos without an Apple device, if you share your albums as a public web page and send the link to anyone without an Apple device, see this help page:

  iCloud, sharing photos - Apple Support

  https://support.Apple.com/en-us/HT202786

  You can even share albums with friends and family who do not use iCloud. Just open a shared album you have created, go to the people tab on your iOS device or click on on your Mac and turn on the Public website. Your photos publish on a website that anyone can see in an up-to-date web browser.

• Using iCloud Photos, while saving space on my devices

  I have an iMac, MacBook Pro, 2 iPhones and iPad. I would like to know if it is possible to do the following: I wish I could store all of my photos in iCloud / on my iMac, but being able to view them on my other iOS devices. I don't really want to download each photo for my iOS devices as space is limited - I just want to be able to look at photos when I am connected to wifi. Currently, I have my devices connected via iCloud but everthing is downloading to all my devices, eating in a space precious. Can anyone help?

  That's what iCloud. It is a synchronization service. It is no-storage device.

  You should look into a device off storage solution that can provide a web view of your images. You need to regularly move the images that you create on your iOS to this peripheral storage devices to keep your storage device clear.

  A suggestion to continue using iCloud would be to make your iMac the main place to store your photos. Move them from your iPhone / iPad to your iMac on a regular basis. Do NOT select the library or photo stream on iOS devices. Only on your iMac.

  Now only your iMac will have all of your photos and them syncs to iCloud.

  Then, your iMac do Albums shared by using the Web site option you can see your devices iOS you want.

• If I use iCloud photo, why iPad uses 10 times more space than my iphone

  I optimize selected storage to iPhone/iPad, using photos from iCloud, and my iPad Pro uses 55 g of storage then my iPhone 6 + uses only 5.8 g

  Optimize is a dynamic process and does not follow a specific formula.

  It is designed to provide 'optimized for device' size photos, then your iPhone and iPad needs would be different only on this basis. It is also based on the space available, once again, that would make the files different on each device depends on available storage at any time.

• Photos transferred via USB use optimize the functionality for iCloud photo library?

  Hello

  I recently transferred 1000 files to my mac via a flash drive.

  I want to have optimized photos and not actually be fully downloaded on my mac and I'm currently using iCloud photo library with optimization turned on.

  Does the work automatically? Or y at - it another way to make this work?

  Thank you

  When you import pictures to Photos on your Mac and they download to iCloud photo library they will be optimized on your Mac if space is needed - you cannot control what is optimized or when - it is dynamic and automatic
