Q: After a year if you don't pay again do you loose your files ? AND -- How do you back up more than 1,000 photos?

Hi on my Iphone 5 which I recently Lost I had about 7850 pictures and videos I did not have everything backed up to my computer because I had not enough space my iCloud photo stream only hold 1000 pictures I was wondering if there was a way for my photo stream or my iCloud to hold more pictures for me also if I upgrade for storage will I lose all my files if I don't pay the next year ??

    Upgrading your iCloud storage will not allow you to hold more than 1000 photos in photo stream on your device as photo steam does not use your iCloud storage plan.

     

    To back up photo stream photos, save them to your camera roll (by opening your photo stream album, tapping Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll), then import them to your computer as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.
