Storing pictures offline in iPhoto from DSLR etc?

Hi all,


I am a long time user of Amazon Photos, but want to move to iPhotos to store my pictures and videos. That said, I have a ton of photos and videos I'd like to upload, but I don't want them *stored* on my iPhone (ie the mirroring). I want to be able to view the albums online, and through my iPhone, but not have them stored there (if that makes sense).


I am a PC user on my desktop, so I don't have a Mac to manage all this stuff. I just want to be able to create and share albums and upload everything.


Is there an easy way to do this, and perhaps -- a YouTube video anybody can link?


Appreciate the help!

Sorry to say, that is not how the iCloud Photo Library works.


It is a syncing service, not off device storage. You may need another solution like Dropbox.
