Hi there!
is there anyway I can move my photos from my iPhone storage to my iCloud storage? I have no space on my iPhone but a ton on my iCloud.
thanks!
iMac, iOS 5.0.1
You should be importing all of your pics to your computer regularly as you would with any digital camera.
Are you not doing that?
Settings > Photos & Camera, enable iCloud photo library and check optimise photos.
With iCloud Photo Library enabled, you cannot delete a photo on one device (or at iCloud.com) without deleting it from every device that uses iCloud photo library (and iCloud.com). In order to save space on your mobile devices (and indeed your Mac if you wish to do so) turn on optimisation for photos on these devices (settings > photos & camera > optimise storage on your mobile device and Photo preferences > optimise storage on your Mac)
Optimisation is dynamic, it reduces the resolution of your photos as and when needed, so you may not notice it occurring at first. However when it is needed, it is very effective and users have reported libraries being optimised to much less than 10% of their original size in some cases. My own library is about 9% of its original size on my phone.
Thanks for the quick replies. I have iCloud photo library and optimize photos. I want all my pictures stored on the cloud and no pictures taking up space on my phone. Is that a possibility?
Uunfortunately not.
