Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
iphone storage full, icloud has 4 gig empty, but I cant take videos because the phones says its out of storage.
It used to be if I ran out of phone storage space, it would upload to Icloud...
now it doesn't.
What happened?
No, iCloud has never worked that way. iCloud photo and iCloud storage in general exists to sync data amongst your devices. But data, and photos always are simultaneously stored on your device and in iCloud.
So if your device storage is full, you need to delete content to free up space for new data. With photos, transfer them to a computer for safe keeping and then delete them from your device (which also deletes them in iCloud).

The iPhone had storage space
I began taking videos
I took several
It stopped, disabled the camera, and stated storage full on Iphone
In the past it would not do this, and continue videoing and putting videos on the Cloud
It didn't happen this time.
I got into camera settings, turned the Cloud off then on....
Why was it not pushing the videos up to the Cloud?

iCloud Photos has never worked that way. Content is saved locally first, and then synced to iCloud.
There is no ability to stream it in real time to the cloud.
In order to sync you have to take the photo and store it on your device. That file would then sync to iCloud. Since your device has no free storage, there is nowhere for it to store any new files, thus no ability to then sync new files to iCloud.
When a file sync’s to iCloud, the copy on the device still remains in device storage - it is a synchronization of files, not a transfer of files.
Thanks
Why doesnt it sync to Icloud?
According to what you say, there should be a point where there is auto syncing, right?
