I understand deleting photos from a device (iPhone) also deletes them from iCloud. Doesn't this seem to negate the point of online storage, or am I missing something?
I am looking for a suitable way to store photos straight from my phone while travelling, to free up space which will no doubt run out. So an online drive is the obvious choice. But I see that once photos are deleted from my iPhone, they will also be deleted from the cloud. Furthermore, it seems as though all my other photos being stored in the cloud will be added to my device. Am I missing something here? Is it safe to say that iCloud isn't really as much of a 'storage drive' as it is a 'synchronisation drive' if we can call it that? Trying to wrap my head around this...
