Thanks for helping out

ive installed the app and can now copy the files using the explorer. However I would like the photos end videos to be copied directly to a specific photo album. Is that possible and how?

Hi there, tdb74.


I see that you're receiving a message when you try to upload an *.mp4 video to iCloud. You're met with a message that only *.jpeg formats can be uploaded, and I'm glad to help with this.


Set up and use iCloud Photos -- If you're trying to upload the movie directly from your Windows PC to iCloud.com/Photos, use iCloud for Windows instead. This article explains how it works and how to set it up on all of your devices.


Let me know how that goes.


Take care.
