Q: Optimize iPhone Storage

Hello Everyone! I have iPhone 5s 16GB and I take many pictures of my baby so one day I had to turn

Optimize iPhone Storage

option on. However my policy has changed since then and now I upload my photos and videos to Dropbox on regular basis and I delete them from my iPhone. So now I don't need this option turned on and I prefer to store full res originals of my recent photos. When I switch to

Download and Keep Originals

nothing changes. Neither iPhone downloads original photos from iCloud, nor new photos are stored in full res. I want to point out that I have >3GB of free space, so this is not an issue. I also noticed that iPhone switches back to

Optimize iPhone Storage

on its own.

Does anybody know is it possible to:

  1. force iPhone to store originals of new photos and videos and possibly
  2. download originals of already stored photos and videos from iCloud?

 

Best regards

iPhone 5s, iOS 10
