Uploading large video to iCloud Photos on iPad

Hi,

I’m trying to upload a large video (24 GB) to iCloud Photos on iPad.

The video is on a flash drive. I can view an play the video in Files.

I Select the video > Share > Save video, but nothing happens. I left the iPad over night with auto lock turned off, but that didn’t work either. How can I upload the video?

Best regards,

Adam

Hi Diskhandsken,

It sounds like you're looking to upload a large video to your iPad. We're glad you've joined us in Apple Support Communities, and we can provide some assistance.

The file will need to upload to your iPad first and then it will upload via iCloud Photos. You'll want to make sure you have both enough iPad storage and iCloud storage.

You can check your iPhone storage by following: How to check the storage on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.
You can check your iCloud storage by following: Check your iCloud storage usage online or on any device.
You can also check out the information in the section "Make sure that you have enough storage" in Set up and use iCloud Photos.

If you have further questions, let us know the exact storage for both your iPad and iCloud.

We hope that helps with your question and take care!
