storage iCloud blown by photos

Hello

My free iCloud storage began to look a little tight, as did the storage on my phone, so I paid for storage of 50 GB iCloud and had my phone storage optimization. Now my 50 GB is a little dominated by my 30 + GB of photos. Yes, I'm much too shy the removed button, but this is how I am!

This is the price (I think I have to go again) to have my photo library in the cloud (Apple), or is there something I can do to limit the load on my storage iCloud account?

Thank you

Looks like you have a lot of photos and videos may be too.  If this is the case, Yes, you are right, you will have to pay for more storage.  Looks like the 200 GB plan will work for you.

    MacBook 12 "El Capitan to run: I would like to add, delete and edit old and new photos on two iPhones, an iPad, and perhaps MacBookAir my husband (who also manages El Capitan) I 14 000 pictures in my library, the vast majority of them is from iPhoto.   Problems if I turn on iCloud photo library on my MacBook12?  And other devices?    How much storage iCloud I might need to buy?

    What is your iPhoto, as shown in the finder library?

    Your options are

    Select who will take your library and expand when you add new photos.

    Note: for you husband to use the same Photo to iCloud library it should be connected to the same Apple/iCloud ID and would thus, share the same e-mail account, contacts, messages, etc...  It's probably not what you want.

    To share photos online can use the family Plan.  In this way each of you can continue to use your own Apple identifiers.

  • storage icloud for photos.

    We have the ability to store our photos in icloud, but noted that if all the photos deleted in the device will automatically delete the backup of these photos in icloud. I really wonder of using icloud here. Icloud do same as economy or remove photos in the camera, why do we need to use icloud?

    • If my storage device is 16 GB how 50 GB of storage icloud will benefit a user?
    • Anyway is to store the photos in icloud regardless of deleting photos from device?

    All valid questions and points you present!  iCloud is not designed as a platform for storage on traditional cloud for backups.  If you are looking at that, and I highly recommend do you, after some preliminary research, then you should consider these options for third party such as Dropbox, Flickr and my personal favorite Google Photos.

    iCloud is designed so that all your pictures/videos are synchronized and accessible on all your devices.

    Whatever decision you make, good luck!

  • Import photos to Mac and not to resume storage iCloud

    Hello

    I recently bought my first computer Apple (MacBook Pro).

    I have (approximately) 4 GB of photos stored on Google Photos I thought to download on my MacBook Pro.

    Is there a way to download these pictures on my MacBook without taking up valuable storage iCloud, which I realize would mean that they are not visible on my other Apple devices.

    I know that I could increase my iCloud storage capacities by buying more storage, but I thought I'd ask anyway...

    Thank you very much

    Tom

    Two possibilities:

    Download them to your Mac, but don't import them into the Photos on your Mac application.

    or

    import them into a second photo library and ensure that he is not the one designated as the photo library of the system:

  • purchase of storage iCloud

    MY phone at this point does not appear one of my photos on my iPhone except for about 20 of them, if I scroll down it says restore and I am sometimes able to restore more pictures on my phone, and all of my contacts, notes and text messages deleted. I can't upgrade my software, download apps, and when I get txt messages I receive messages is no longer and will clear in their own with in a few minutes, if I don't check my messages and open them. Has nothing to do with my settings, I believe that it is because my phone trying to make room, think that there more, since there is nothing to clear in my phone that my question is, if I buy more I have the cloud storage does anyone know if my phone is back to normal, as I kno expenses on the amount of storage I want to get sick have to pay every month , but I wonder if I get this amount of storage every month or if it's a time thing.  Thanks for all who are able to help me!

    If your appliance is out of room, additional storage iCloud won't help.

    It appears from your question, you could use iCloud photo library? If you are, you have to "Maximize pictures" is enabled in the settings > Photos & camera?

    You may want to consider not using iCloud photo library, but going back to import your photos to your computer and then synchronize the photos you want on your phone. It gives you more control over how and what photos get sync support in addition to having your film and the photo stream.

    If you don't use icloud photo library, you must go to settings > general > storage & use iCloud > manage storage (under storage, non-iCloud) and see what takes place. You should also remove SMS or e-mails that have pictures or embedded videos as they take plenty of room.

    Good luck

  • When you upgrade a storage iCloud plan you get to keep the free additional 5 GB?

    I am considering the iCloud the total amount of my photos and videos storage options exceeded the franchise of 5 GB.

    My question is - if I update the 50 GB plan, to keep the original free 5GB as well? I actually would have 55 GB of available storage total iCloud?

    I must say that I am very frustrated because as an avid user of Apple, I have 2 x 2 x iPads, iPhones and a MacBook Pro and still only got 5 GB of free storage iCloud to share between all devices. I don't think I should have to pay for additional storage, given the high investment I have with Apple products - it of crazy for me to buy a 128 GB iPhone and have only 5 GB free storage - but I don't see otherwise around having to upgrade and subscribe to a larger storage iCloud plan. Any ideas please.

    Does anyone think that Apple will increase their free storage plans and subscription at some point?

    If you upgrade to 50GB of storage from iCloud, you'll have 50GB.

    Since it is a forum for technical support for a user, we don't are not able to say why Apple made the decisions they did. However, you can send them your thoughts here: Apple - Feedback

  • Cannot take a picture even if I have storage iCloud

    I bought storage additional iCloud for my phone but when even can't take a photo because 'there is not enough storage to take photo' even if I got 48.8 GB available storage iCloud!

    Do not forget that iCloud that photo library is designed to reflect your library on all your devices. In order to have a lot of storage iCloud does not mean that you don't need any (extra) storage space on your iPhone.

    You can however use the "Optimize iPhone storage" setting located under settings, iCloud, Photos, Photos & camera or settings. When this option is selected, most of the photos that are stored on your iPhone will be reduced versions, good enough for display on the screen of your iPhone. This may, or may not create enough free space on your iPhone to take new photos.

  • My Imac keep saying not "enough storage iCloud" but I 4.9 GB free.  What now?  Grateful for any advice.

    My iMac is 21.5 "end 2012, Intel Core i5 to 2.7 GHz, 8 GB of memory and runs OS X El Capitan worm 10.11.4.

    I get a message saying ' not enough storage iCloud"but when I check the iCloud storage in the settings I says I have 4.99 GB available.  There are no backups in the iCloud either.  What Miss me? Thank you

    My guess would be you have more 4.99 GB of photos and videos on your iMac and the iCloud as library enabled for synchronization with iCloud.

    In Photos, go to Preferences > iCloud and see if there is a message of error/attention.

  • message storage iCloud in the picture settings

    Hello, I hit the limit of the ability to default iCloud and new photos taken with my iPhone stopped downloading, so I decided to subscribe to 50 GB storage expansion.

  • Why the iCloud iPhone backup Photo lib is so great?

    Settings-> General-> storage & use-> iCloud iCloud, manage-> backup storage, this iPhone-> watch photo library to use 2.9 GB.

    I have only a few pictures in Photos.

    Settings-> General-> storage & iCloud use-> storage, manage storage-> Photos & camera shows use 1.4 MB.

    What else is included in the backup of the library that makes it so great?

    My config: iPhone 6, 16 MB, IOS 9.2.1

    Settings-> iCloud-> options for Photos:

    iCloud library picture OFF

    My Photo Stream WE

    Upload Photos of burst off the COAST
    iCloud Photo Sharing ON

    I deleted the backup, turned iCloud backup on again., and did a manual backup that seems to have solved the problem. The iPhone backup uses about 100 MB now that is what I expected. I'm still puzzled why he thought he needed 3 GB to save the picture before Lib.

  • iCloud Space Ghost photo library

    iCloud library stating "you have 10 photos and 0 videos stored in iCloud. Your photos and videos are using 3.4 GB. "What happens to my photo library of iCloud storage? I already remove most of the photos and my "recently deleted" have no more photo and video. Can I know how can use so much space with some pictures? What can I do to let the iCloud library space become normal?

    Hi Alicialee,

    I understand that you have a question about your available space in iCloud. Looks like you are using total 3.4 GB, and maybe not entirely because of the 10 photos that show only stored in iCloud. This is most likely due to other things too much space to iCloud, such as backups of iOS devices. Try to use the information in this article to help you solve your storage problems:
