    Hello Seraphym,

     

    Thank you for the question.  It sounds like you would like to add some photos to Photo Stream. 

     

    If you are trying to add photos to your My Photo Stream, use these steps:

     

    When do photos upload to My Photo Stream?

    PC with iCloud Control Panel 2.0 or later: Open a Windows Explorer window and under Favorites select iCloud Photos if you are using iCloud Control Panel 3.0 (or Photo Stream if you are using 2.0 to 2.1.2). Open My Photo Stream. Click the "Add photos" button. Select the photos to import to My Photo Stream, then click Open.

    Once you add those photos to My Photo Stream, you can choose to save them to your iPad's Camera Roll.

     

    Alternatively, if you are trying to add the photos to a Shared Photo Stream, use these steps:
