On mac10.15.7 can I move Google photos to iCloud? Please explain for a 70 yo non-geek.
iMac 21.5″, macOS 10.15
If you want to put "Google Photos" on iCloud, as opposed to photo files contained in Google Photos, that's not going to work.
iCloud is an interactive file synchronization service. It's designed to house files, not to run apps from or to contain other "systems" or services.
If you have space available, you can put any file you wish in iCloud.
Here is a very straight forward article on iCloud's use: Access and manage your files in iCloud Drive - Apple Support
I'm 76 and iCloud is not beyond us "old guys".
Thanks, I'll sift through it. I've found a lot before about sending 'Photos' - what I'm looking for is "Google Photos". Hope that is in there. Thanks again, 'old guy'!
The simplest way is to set up synchronisation between Google Photos and the Apple Photos. I have this set up on my system.
Thank you for this wonderful explanation. If I had had that before it would have saved me hours of google searching. I thought I just couldn't find the correct question.!.
