    Hi there nappyeye,

     

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.

     

    It sounds like you want to know how to move content, like photos and videos, to iCloud Drive. The article below provides answers to Frequently Asked Questions about iCloud Drive and will help you solve the issue of accessing and moving content to iCloud Drive.

     

    iCloud Drive FAQ

    How do I access all my files in iCloud Drive?

    You can access your files in iCloud Drive any of these ways:

     

    • Using any supported web browser, you can go to iCloud Drive or iWork for iCloud beta at iCloud.com. In iWork for iCloud beta, you can find your Pages, Numbers, and Keynote files.
    • On your Mac with OS X Yosemite, you can go to iCloud Drive in Finder.
    • On your PC with Windows 7 or later and iCloud for Windows 4.0, you can go to iCloud Drive in File Explorer.
    • On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 8, you can access your files from Apple apps like Pages, Numbers, and Keynote, or any apps that support iCloud Drive.

     

    I hope this helps,

    -Jason

    I appreciate the help.  To be a bit more specific, how do I move files from my picasa folder on my pc directly to the icloud photo library so they are available to all of my apple devices?

    This is a great question and would also help users like myself. The 8.0.1 bug and the reset device bug that deleted all of our iCloud docs. I have all of my pictures back up, so I can restore them, but how can I restore them so they're back and viewable in "Photos" by the years view (farthest left photos soft-key) on my iPhone?

    Hey all, still interested in getting information on this.  I found that I can manually do this essentially one photo at a time with the picasa application but I lose the geo settings and date stamps on the pictures.  any help would be appreciated!
