How to move videos from Files to Photos?

I have some videos in the Files app and want to move these into the Photos app. I can’t seem to see anyway to do this. How is this done?

Exact same process as for photos. Keep in mind that videos over 200 MB cannot be synced using iCloud photos

Where are you seeing this limit documented, muguy? I am having much larger videos in my iCloud Photos Library and they are syncing with iCloud Photos without any problems, for example this video with 3.14GB.

I have moved all my home videos to Photos after Apple discontinued the iMovie Theater.


I took the screenshot on my Mac, but I can view this video also on my iPhone and iPad in Photos.


Have you perhaps been thinking of the limit for Shared Albums?
