Q: Why can't I see my photos on icloud.com?

Everytime I sign in to iCloud online it never lets me see my pictures. I already have photo sharing on and my photo stream on as well. I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

A:

Photo stream (and shared stream) photos are only visible on devices and computers that are signed into your iCloud account with photo stream (and photo sharing) enabled.  You cannot see them on icloud.com.  The only exception is a shared stream created as a public website, which gives you a url allowing you to view them on the web from any computer.

    You can't view your photos by logging in at iCloud.com.

    Photo Stream merely "pushes" your photos to your other devices or computers.

    I just was wondering the same thing, and found this answer.  That's crazy.  Not being able to see your photo stream on the iCloud website.  It's not logical, nor intuitive, when you can see the other Apple specific app info there.  Oh well. Have to deal with it I guess.
