Lot's of remaining iCloud storage, yet pictures won't save in iCloud
I just deleted a whole bunch of documents, files and pictures from my Mac, and I'm now left with half of my iCloud storage. I did this in hopes that my pictures would save into iCloud and therefore pop up on my iPhone. But even with all of the remaining storage, the pictures won't save!
Why is that, and what can I do to make it work?
