Photos, iCloud and OneDrive sync

Hi all

I have a question on how to better organize my photo library.

For the moment, on my space OneDrive (mapped to a partition on my MacBook SSD), I have a folder called 'Images' containing just about all of my photos and organized by folders.

Since my tech ecosystem is roughly marked Apple (iPhone, iPad and MacBook), I would use the power and versatility of the Photos and iCloud, so that everything remains in all of my devices and free space memory iPhone sync.

Here's the question: I want to keep my pictures saved on OneDrive, then put the Photos on my Mac to view photos from this folder and use iCloud to share through my devices.

-I see the same folder structure on iPhone and iPad a synchronization is complete?

-More important, if I take a picture with my iPad, it will be placed not only on iCloud but also automatically added pictures on Mac which, in turn, puts it in the folder of photos on my OneDrive?

-Finally, take pictures of my iDevices will store them in the film. If I move them into folders, photos will be mapped (copied to iCloud) on my other devices constantly (in the folder)?

I would like to notice I'm not trying to avoid using iCloud premium space - I already have a subscription plan of 50 GB that I don't mind mounted. I just keep having just all my photos on OneDrive.

Thank you in advance for any comments you may have!

The answer is simply not

The photo library can not be stored on a basic system to pictures not work will have a referenced library, so you may not have a local library references photos on a disc - the photo library can be on a local drive connected directly to the Mac OS Extended format

You can synchronize between the Mac and IOS devices using iCloud library that synchronizes the photos and the structure of the album/folder between devices

When you import pictures you can export them to your OneDrive record and have a copy (not associate Photos somehow) on a disk

You can not have the same physical pictures in Photos and on one disc - each must have its own copy of the Photo

  • Should be opened on mac or iPhone for photos to download to sync and photo library photos iCloud?

    I installed iCloud photo library, and I downloaded all of my photos and albums. My question or problem is that when I do rather small changes, i.e. Add one to five photos to an album, he seems to take an extremely long time before changes are visible on the photos on my iPhone.

    That is the Macbook Air, or the iPhone, must not sleep for downloading to take place? Should photos be opened on each device so that he can get?

    Thanks for your help,

    Rex

    Hello

    On the iPhone, it must either:

    • be in use (not necessarily in the Photos app)
    • or be in mode 'sleep', plugged in and connected to wifi

    On mac, you must have the application open and the mac for not being in mode 'sleep'. OS X Powernap Feature does not support the iCloud photo library (I've done a request for comments)

  • How to remove Photos from the iPhone/iPad/iCloud and no pictures

    How to take a photo with my iPhone/iPad, allow it to synchronize with Photos on my Mac via iCoud, then delete from my iPhone/iPad/iCloud and removes any Photos on Mac? I want to save the photo on your computer and save space on small devices?

    I keep seeing articles on the iCloud market turn but it seems the photos all return on the devices once restarted. I want to iCloud on use as a conduit to get the photos to my computer, not as a large storage space. I want the Photos app on my Mac where all the photos are filled and stored and choose those which is left each device.

    Right now they are all in the pictures on the Mac, but I'm worried if I remove it from my iPhone/iPad that they will disappear from Photos on the Mac. I don't understand the new Photos app with all the missing features of iPhoto.

    Thank you!

    You can not that's not how works iCloud photo library - it is not a conduit but a total synchronization service whose entire raison d'etre is to keep libraries connected identical - all changes made on any device (addition, deletion or modification) are made on all devices. For devices with limited memory, using optimized photos

    If this isn't what you want then use another service - USB import, iTunes sync, MyPhotoStream for example each do different things and everyone can move photos from one device to another

    And Photos lack a lot of features iPhoto form - in fact much more features than iPhoto including iCloud library there like a bigger and better editing capability and better external editing capability and so on

  • Computer I have Sync'd with is death - can I now back up / synchronize with iCloud and still have everything?

    Pretty much like what it says. Previously synced 100% with laptop computer (iTunes, photos, videos, etc.) which now shows the blue screen of death permanently.

    If I now go back to iCloud synchronization / backup on my phone, will I have all since it's all on my phone to start?

    Portable ITunes was there music I ripped and realize that is probably a separate issue. I have off-site backup which I can access once I get a new laptop.

    Thanks in advance.

    You can activate the backup to iCloud and it backs up your phone as it is currently. See following information from backups for iOS - Apple Support devices for details of what is included:

    With a wireless network connection, you can make a backup of your device using iCloud. You don't need to connect your device to a computer or even be home to save with iCloud.

    iCloud backups include virtually all the data and parameters stored on your device. iCloud backups do not include:

    • Data already stored in iCloud, like Contacts, calendars, Notes, My Photo Stream and iCloud photo library
    • Data stored in other cloud services, such as Gmail and Exchange email
    • Settings and information Apple pay
    • Tap Settings ID
    • iCloud library and App Store content (if it is still available in the iTunes, App, or iBooks Store, you can type to re - download your content already purchased.)

  • When I turn on iCloud library in sync deleted photos?

    I just updated my iPad 16 GB iOS mini 9 after cleaning of old photos, so there would be enough memory for the upgrade.  I have around 200 photos sync'd with my MacBook.  Why iOS these deletes if I turn on iCloud photo library?

    I don't think that Apple never said 'why' and speculation is against the terms of use of this forum. However here is a method to deal with it. The information is of help with your photo library - Apple Support iCloud

    iCloud library is not download photos and videos that you copy to your device in iTunes. To download the original versions, follow these steps.

    OS X Yosemite 10.10.3 or later version

    To download the original versions of your library of Mac, click Photos > Preferences and turn on iCloud photo library.

    You can also use AirDrop to copy photos from your computer to your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch:

    1. Make sure that you are connected with the same Apple on your iOS device and computer ID.
    2. Unlock your device iOS and Activate AirDrop.
    3. Open a new window of Finder on your Mac, then choose AirDrop in the sidebar.
    4. Drag the photos to the iOS device icon in the Finder window.

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

    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.

  • Photo library no longer sync to iCloud

    On a whim, I decided to check to see if my photos on my MacBook Pro (in OS X version 10.11.3) have increased on the library in my iCloud account and found out that the were not the pictures. It seems that other than 2 pictures (of many) on 24 December, nothing has been transferred to iCloud for my Mac since October 9. Photos taken with my iPhone 5 s appear in the iCloud library, so this seems to be just a problem with the Mac. I also see that the changes I made on the Mac for iPhone photos are not sync iCloud or my library on my iPhone. I signed up for storage iCloud around August or September 2015, while I could use as a backup of my photos and have them sync between devices. In System Preferences/iCloud/Photos, I remember selection iCloud photo library, but not my stream of photos or iCloud, photo sharing. However, when I look at these options today, iCloud that library is not checked and My Photo Stream and iCloud, sharing of photos are checked. I thought I could change it right back, but when I check the option library iCloud now, it shows that I don't have enough space on the cloud. I plan to store 200 GB and only 56 GB left, because the majority of my photos (144 GB) is already there. How can I get new photos and retouching to iCloud and ensure that it continues to work as it should? Of course, I don't have photos that are already in place in iCloud to redownload. Which took several days to get them right the first time! Thank you very much for your help!

    I suspect that it is a temporary problem until you get you Mac fully synchronized with the cloud again. You should not, but I guess that if you have subscribed to the plan of 1 TB for a month, the problem may resolve itself and you might return to the 200 GB plan. If you went down this path I'd be inclined to contact Apple first to see if you can not re-credited for your temporary subscription.

    The other alternative would be to stop iCloud photo library on your phone, manually transfer the missing photos on your Mac, delete all the photos in the cloud and then turn it back on in iCloud photo library on the Mac. I'm not sure I want to try it myself.

  • Save the photos on icloud and eliminate the ios device

    I have a lot of photos on my iPhone. I want to delete them and they are stored in iCloud. But when I delete a photo on the iPhone, it removes also iCloud.

    Is it possible to have all photos in iCloud without deleting?

    As OneDrive app, they don't synchronize and store pictures of the iPhone, and if I delete a picture they do not remove on the cloud.

    Is it possible to have all photos in iCloud without deleting?

    When you delete them from your phone, they will remove icloud. Try going to settings/iCloud and optimize storage. This will reduce the space that take photos.

  • Storage of original photos of full resolution in iCloud and IMac

    Hi all.

    I have what I think, it is a very simple question, but for the life of me cannot find a definitive answer.

    I have a librurary of photo on my iMac. (don't have not yet updated for sierra)

    I would like to support this thesis / store the originals in ICloud AND keep them on my mac.

    SO I think that the obvious thing to do is select "optimize storage" in the settings of cloud photo which clearly says that they will be in the cloud and the computer. But here's the question...

    If my IMac is low on space will start serving the original photos so that they are FAIR to Icloud?

    If so, what is the threshold of how much space it starts to do this?

    and if I recover my space again once on the iMac will be the original re download back to my iMac?

    Thanks in advance people.

    You may not use the setting 'Optimize storage' - select ' download originals for the Mac ", if you want than the originals, to be stored locally on the Mac and on iCloud.

    So that 'download originals to the Mac' is activated, all of the original will be kept on your Mac as well.

    It will not start original purge, as long as you keep "Optimize storage disabled".

    Optimization of the storage with the storage management is automatic.  Photos will download the originals if you need and remove, if more storage is needed. You cannot control this.

    I would like to support this thesis / store the originals in ICloud AND keep them on my mac.

    iCloud library is no backup. It is a synchronization service to keep all your libraries on different devices synchronized and updated. If you accidentally delete photo from your library, it is not possible to restore from iCloud. Deletion can be synchronized to all devices and iCloud, so the photo has disappeared everywhere.  You need a backup separate from your library on an external drive, even if you use iCloud photo library.

  • Photos of iCloud does not sync for iOS

    Hi all

    I made a bunch of changes on my Sierra pictures of macOS, including:

    • Changing the names of Albums
    • Merger of some albums

    None of these changes are replicated to my iPhone 6 (iOS 10). Also now half of my albums are displayed as having 0 photos which is incorrect.

    Was working fine a couple of days.

    Someone has recommendations before I try to disable iCloud library on the iPhone and turning on? Someone at - it happen to them?

    Best estimate is patience - give it time - you had installed for a few hours - Sierra synchronizations are not instantaneous and a 'heap' of changes will be a "bunch" of time to synchronize

    and usually the absolute worst thing in the world to do is to turn iCloud photo library and turn it back on - that should be only a last resort

  • Unable to sync Mac (10.9.5) to iCloud and iDevices but reverse works

    My problem is simple. I just added a calendar to my MBA (10.9.5) and attempted to share the calendar with my family.

    After that my family has not received an e-mail to synchronize with the new calendar, I watched my iCloud account. The new schedule is not on my iCloud account either.

    I crossed all basic and advanced troubleshooting guides on apple.com and other websites of third parties without result. Yes, my calendar is listed under iCloud. My calendar is set to sync with my iCloud account in system preferences. I am connected to my iCloud account on my Mac. I followed all of the settings on the Apple support pages. I even cleaned my calendars and disconnected and then reconnected my iCloud account on my Mac.

    I tried a reverse test. I added a calendar in iCloud. Miraculously, he immediately synced with my Mac and my iDevices. In short, iCloud will synchronize with my iDevices and Macs, but my Mac does not synchronize with iCloud and my iDevices.

    I really don't want to enter all the information in iCloud. Suggestions on how to solve the problem?

    OK, after an hour of frustration (my iCloud account is sent to push), I disconnected my iCloud account and then connected again. Of course the restoration did not understand the new calendar, so I imported my backup. The calendar now shows upward. This is a serious flaw that Apple needs to fix.

  • iCloud will not sync Outlook calendar and contacts

    I recently reinstalled Office 2016 on Windows 10. In fact, Microsoft did for me.  You uninstall it iCloud as part of this process.  I reinstalled iCloud, but are unable to sync with Outlook.  I connect to iCloud and check the box 'Contacts, calendar and tasks' and press on apply. All that happens is that iCloud Unchecks the box and grey to apply. If I repeat it, it do not uncheck the box, but apply is gray.  He did nothing. Outlook shows no signs of the existence of iCloud, other than the add-in, which is active.

    I repeated a bunch of times.  Twice iCloud does not seem to be trying a sync, but he hung up it making. I left on for 10 hours and it was still running.

    Any ideas?
