Upload ALL my pictures & videos to iCloud

Can anyone tell me how to upload all my picures (in Collections, Camera Roll, My Phote Stream, Videos) to iCloud? What I want to do is after I upload them to the iCloud, I want to delete them all on my iPhone 4 (I only have 8GB on my iPhone 4). Once I have them on the iCloud, can I access them without having my iPhone connected to my PC with iTunes? I would appreciate any and all suggestions.

Thank you.

David

You can't use iCloud to store your photos and then delete them from the phone, the idea of iCloud is that everything is the same everywhere.

I don't have a PC, but don't see why you can't. Open the program you use for photos, connect the phone by USB and the program should recognise the phone as a camera.

Thank you, I just did that. 🙂 It allowed me to copy all my videos & pictures to my HDD.

One last question. In my shared Streams, when I open one Stream, lets say "My iPhone 11-23-2013", which has about 500 pictures in there under albums, can I delete them, reason why I ask is because, when I select them, it only allows me to Add To, and not delete.

Are these shared streams that have been shared by someone else.

Are you sure they are shared streams and not photos you have synced from iTunes, shared stream photos should be able to be deleted.

Thank You, now this is eactly what I have:

1.Shared Streams (I don't share with anyone)

2.Under Share Streams, I have Activity - Which I CANNOT delete

3.My iPhone 10-06-2013 - Which I CAN delete

There are 3 icons at the bottom under Shared Streams

1.Photos (picture of individual files) - which I CAN delete

2.Shared (picture of a cloud) - see above (1, 2, 3)

3.Albums (picture of a folder) which, IMHO, are the actual pictures on my iPhone

Can I delete Shared Streams - Activity ? I want to free up some space on my iPhone.

Thank you.

You can't directly delete anything in activity, no. It merely reflects your activity and doesn't use any space on your phone, since it only shows what you have in photo stream already but in the order in which you did things.

If you remove something from one of your photo stream streams though, it will also be removed from 'Activity'.
