If I turn on "download and keep originals" does this mean that my phone will receive all my photos and videos from my computer?

Greetings frankie7777,


It sounds like you have some questions about your setting for Photos. We know how important this is for you, and you’re in the right place for answers.

Download copies of your photos and videos
When you turn on iCloud Photos, your photos and videos automatically upload to iCloud. They're not duplicated in your iCloud backup, so you should keep backup copies of your library. Use the steps below to download copies of your photos and videos to your Mac or PC. Or you can import your library to your Mac or PC

More info about this can be found in this support article: Set up and use iCloud Photos - Apple Support


Cheers!
