keep the photos in icloud, but remove them from the iOS device?

Hi, need help to keep my old photos in the cloud, then to remove them from my iphone device. I can also keep on my mac but still once, how can I make sure that when I delete from my iphone I can still access them in the cloud or on my big Mac? My phone is getting to the maximum it can hold up to now need to move them to a storage for later viewing device, editing or other.

Thank you

You cannot store pictures on iCloud and remove them from your device. Remove them on the phone also icloud removes them. You can set for storage optimized on your device that compresses the resolution of the device stored photos, keep the originals in iCloud.

If you want to be able to todelete pictures from your phone and store them elsewhere, you must use subscription such as Dropbox cloud storage or store them on your computer.

  • Can I save pictures on icloud and remove them from my iphone

    I want to record images in icloud, but remove the iPhone is it possible?  If I delete phone, they are removed from icloud?

    Lol this is not how iCloud photo library has been designed to work.

    iCPL is designed as a service synchronization, not a backup or a cloud storage service. It works in synchronization of all additions, deletions, and changes to a device for all other devices, including iCloud and your computer.

    If you are concerned about the storage space on your iDevice, select this option to use a local library optimized in settings > Photos & camera. This allows Photos to raise only as storage space is available and continually reduce the size of the library if you need more for other applications or data.

    Is there a way to remove photos from my iPhone and does not affect the photos on MBP app without turning off the iCloud library?

    No, the purpose of iCloud photo library is to have exactly the same pictures on all your devices.

    You can turn on 'Optimize storage' on your devices, so the photos they need less storage.

    Or move the photos on your Mac to a second photo library, which does not synchronize with iCloud.  Single library can be synchronized with iCloud. If you transfer pictures to a second library, before you remove them from your iOS devices, copies in different library will remain.

    What iCloudService do you use?

    • If the iPhone and the Mac are synchronized with iCloud photo library, removal of the photos from the iPhone will remove them from the Mac as well.  iCloud photo library is a synchronization service that will ensure that you see the same pictures on all devices. All change at will the timing and any deletion or any import.  To win the storage on the iPhone allow the iCloud Photos setting "Optimize Storage.
    • If photos have been synced with my photos and not iCloud library stream, you can remove them from the iPhone. They must stay in the library on your Mac. But before a massive deletion on any device, make a backup of your photo library, just to be sure.
  • Hello. I so want to know if there is a way to keep the photos on icloud and get them deleted on your iphone, so that there is no problem of storage of the device

    Hello. I so want to know if there is a way to keep the photos on icloud and get them deleted on your iphone, so that there is no problem of storage of the device.

    iCloud is a synchronization system, not an external 'hard drive '. If you remove them on your device, they will remove icloud. To increase the available space, go settings/iCloud/Photos and select optimize iPhone/iPad storage. That will reduce the space required by 90% when it is fully effective.

  • all of my photos in icloud were removed from the restoration (and did not find the album recently removed to icloud)



    all of my photos in icloud were removed from the restoration (and did not find the album recently removed to icloud)

    The opposite happened to me - in the opposite direction! I found all my pictures from Nokia mobile in icloud on my iPad a few days ago, had no blue cogwheels devices! The two devices + home phone is all about wireless internet of the contract with ORANGE in Europe! They will not help,

    I think my router - put in place by an expatriate for me - is hacked because of the problem. I didn't ask him to change my contract or warn of my move when I did 2 years ago - but he went ahead and made Orange disclose no information telling me his "confidential".

  • I want that all my photos on icloud and remove all my photos on my mac

    In the finder on my Macbook, I see "Images" as a folder.  I want all those images my Macbook off the coast and they are stored in iCloud.  If I import them into the Photo, safely remove them from my Macbook?

    If I import them into the Photo, safely remove them from my Macbook?

    If you import the pictures you can delete photos in your folder "Images", but photos will always be on your Mac, they will fair in the photo library instead. If you turn on iCloud photo library, the photos will be get synced to the cloud, you might turn on optimization on your Mac, which means the photos will take much less space than they did.

  • Reconnect before proceeding... (No, just remove them from the catalog)

    I met the 'Media files have been moved because they were imported in your catalogue' and I get the search never ends for them.  How can I tell PE just remove them from the catalog?  I deleted these files by accident, but it's normal.  Rather than offer me the possibility to remove them and move on, PE seeks constantly over my hard drives and show up with the same list, he always does.  Just remove them and don't ask me no more!  How to spend it?

    I prefer not to keep the default choice of automatic search for the missing files. Open the Edit menu > preferences > files and uncheck this option. You will be free to begin a search, when necessary.

    Then use the file menu 'reconnect all missing files. You get a list of missing files in the window closing. In the middle of the second line, you have a small icon to open a menu in which:

    -You can choose all

    - then delete all.
