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!

  • iCloud for photo library

    Hello

    I decided to download all my library of Photos of the iCloud. I bought the 200 GB storage plan.

    I recently bought and started using a new macbook El Capitan running and using Photos for my replacement of my old iMac running iPhoto. I also have a MacBook Air 2 and iPhone 5 s, which are connected to the cloud for all my photos.

    I copied all the pictures of my old iPhoto library in my new photo library.

    My new belonging Photos is about 67GB and is stored on a HARD drive and I started to download on my storage iCloud about 24 hours ago.

    I followed the progress and the very small bar sometimes shows that she is not progressing and then will start to make further progress. He is currently "Download" and indicates less than a quarter full.

    Where can I find the estimated time remaining? Why is capricious and sometimes indicates that nothing is downloading?

    I checked that my internet speed and I'm at a speed about 4 MB/s download.

    What I have to disable all programs and applications on my mac to copy a little faster? I have to do something for my other devices to increase the speed of copying?

    Tips or advice would be a great help because I'm not 100% convinced that this will copy successfully, and I may have to go back to the use of the HARD drive for my library of Photos.

    See you soon!

    Terri

    It is quite normal that the download will require several days.

    My library with 40000 photos and videos took a little over a week to download in iCloud.

    There will be periods of time where you will see no visible progress. This can result from the conversion of the elements in a format compatible with iCloud, for example, if your library contains many videos.

    Just let it run and not to interrupt, or download will start and be even slower, because the second time, the library must be compared to the elements already in iCloud.

  • How by-pass iCloud for photos of digital devices?

    I recently upgraded to an iMac 27 "new and I want to spend all my photos my old computer.  My old system was a Mac Mini that I never used iCloud on because the internal drive was small so I stored all my pictures on an external hard drive.  A majority of these photos were taken with my digital camera.  I know that you only have 5 GB of space free iCloud and my photos are much more than that.

    How can I keep my photos on my computer without them going to iCloud?  I use iCloud for pictures taken with my iPhone and my iPad so I don't want to disable this feature.

    Go on your Mac in Photos > Preferences > iCloud. There you can "download for Mac originals" where they will be offline. I hope this helps!

  • using iCloud for photos

    Decided that I would try using iCloud for synchronization of photos to all my devices - ipad and iPhone.  A simple and way big to keep all the features of update of the sounds.  I followed all the directions for setting this up and find that this more complicated that we shouldn't.  I finally got some pictures in the library iCloud for my computer, but of course they do not appear on the iphone or iPad.  I apparently won't implement the iphone or the ipad properly.  I think I tried everything I could find on this operation, but nothing works. For some reason when on the iPad and try to access the iCloud.com with Safari, I get the message that the server is not responding.  When you do the same thing on the iPhone, it connects but it takes me to a window that says "Setup iCloud on this device."  Seems weird like iCloud is already on this currency.   Bottom line is that I spent hours too much try to do the job as well as to purchase more space icloud. I might have to overcome my 8 year old grandson to help me.

    Yyou don't use iCloud.com to display your photos on your iPad and your phone, you use the Photos app with iCloud library active, just like the photos on your Mac.

  • Turn off iCloud for photos

    If I disable iCloud on my iphone for photos will lose my pictures and my videos? He tells me I can copy everything first, but I don't have enough space on my phone to make a copy.

    Of course, if you have not registered on your computer, then when you remove icloud they will be gone - what else could possibly happen?

    Before you stop iCloud you should download all the photos that you said

  • 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.

  • iCloud, sharing photos for Non - iOS users

    So, I use iCloud for about two years now, and it does for the most part, what I want and need to. However, whenever my family and I go camping during the weekend, take a vacation or just to Barbecue a Sunday afternoon, we have a ton of photos on a large number of devices. For the wife and children, this isn't a problem since we have all of the iPhones and use iCloud. But, it seems that we are facing a problem whenever someone on an Android phone has a few pictures they want help or like to download some pictures that we have added.

    Y at - it an easy way for non - iOS users view and/or edit albums shared iCloud without going through a several-step process (transfer of office, download third party app, etc..)? It is my understanding that an Android user should be able to display/change via a web browser, but don't seems to work. I looked at other cloud services and apps, and major issues, in that I continue to run are:

    1: having to pay another Cloud Computing service, when I already pay for iCloud is not economic.

    2: I find a lot of the photo-sharing applications and services give a lot of storage, but at a cost to the quality of the photos. My wife and her friends are always doing something creative with your impressions so even some 'high quality' compression can degrade enough make it unusable.

    3: I have a hard time to ask someone to download an application, not to mention of asking them to pay for one. Nor am I comfortable someone jump through hoops, just so that I can watch through a batch of photos in the hope of finding one or two which are useful.

    So, is there an easy way to do it, or I'm stuck or wait for Apple to understand a feature like this would be useful or leave iCloud for a solution amicably more cross-platform? I do not understand that Apple needs to focus on the development and support of applications and services for its ecosystem and customer, but would it not make sense to make it convenient for outside users to have a great experience too?

    I don't know what problems you encountered but the sharing Web site works fine for me.

  • deleted despite many storage iCloud photos

    I have a lot of storage iCloud and still when I delete a photo from my iPhone it says it is also removed from my albums to iCloud on all devices

    That's the way iCloud library works by design, remove in a single device removes them all. See the iCloud Photo library FAQ for details.

  • Photos: storage iCloud and sync

    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.

  • 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.
