Q: How can I have two icloud accounts running on the same computer?

My husband and I have separate icloud accounts for separate phones (iphone 5s).  However, I can't find a way to have both cloud accounts running on my computer at the same time.  I have to log out of one and log into the other.  So, our photo stream, etc. isn't updating as often as we need it to. Is there a way to have both icloud account open at the same time?

iPhone 5s, iOS 8.4.1

    Hi BeasBuzz,

     

    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.

     

    It sounds like you want to have two iCloud accounts added to iCloud for Windows, so you can view the Photo Stream from your phone and your husband's phone at the same time.

     

    You're right that you can only be signed in to one iCloud account at a time.

     

    You may want to create a shared album so you and your husband can both add pictures from your iPhones that will appear on your computer and other devices. For more information, see the steps in iCloud: Create a shared album.

     

    You can also set up Family Sharing, which creates a shared photo album, calendar, and reminders list for you to use in addition to sharing iTunes Store purchases.

     

    Best Regards.
