Do uploaded photos to My Photo Stream count against iCloud storage?
In FAQ it states: 'Photos uploaded to My Photo Stream don't count against your iCloud storage.'
This sounds like there is no upper limit on how many photos I can save to iCloud? Is this correct?
When I click on Photos on my mbp, then click System Preferences, then click iCloud, when I try to tick the box next to Photos I can't, and then the following box appears:
‘THIS LIBRARY EXCEEDS YOUR AVAILABLE ICLOUD STORAGE. UPGRADE YOUR STORAGE TO KEEP ALL YOUR PHOTOS AND VIDEOS SAFELY STORED IN ICLOUD PHOTO LIBRARY’. Then Apple want £2.99 per month.
Sorry, the above does not need to be in higher case, but I just copied it from my notes.
The above seem to be contradictory, or most likely, I'm doing something wrong. Are the above connected, and can I only upload my full Photo stash to iCloud by paying 2.99 per month. NB, I don't store anything else in iCloud, no documents, I can just see my mailboxes. Are these the culprits?
