For photos and videos, see: Set up and use iCloud Photos - Apple Support

Be aware that iCloud Photos is a syncing service. Any photo you delete from a device where iCloud Photos is turned on will also be deleted from iCloud and from any other device connected to iCloud Photos. You can potentially reduce the storage space required on a device by turning on Optimize Storage. See: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204264


Apple does not currently offer cloud-only storage for photos. If that is what you want or need, you may want to explore 3rd party options such as Google Photos or Dropbox.


For files, see: Set up iCloud Drive - Apple Support

and Use the Files app on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
