iCloud Photo - Two Apple IDs share storage and use iCloud Photo Library?

@Apple. Any news on this. With IOS11 we now have shared storage space with is very good. All we need now is Library support for multiple Apple IDs. The wife and I just want 1 place for our photo collection and memories with is impossible to get on the current solution.

Am currently using Amazon to do this but is not happy with the solution.

Yes, but the individual's assigned storage space is not shareable.

You can't access another Apple ID's space indiscriminately. Privacy is still in play.

If you want to share a Photos Library, use a small, portable external drive and put your shared Photos Library there:

See Apple's Support document: Sharing photo libraries among multiple users - Apple Support

Do not make the shared library on the external your iCloud Library or system Photo Library. The System Photo Library needs always to be available for the background processes, while you are logged in.

I use Iphone/IPad and that is not a option to connect i HD. I have approx. 500gb of photo and video that i like to share using iCloud.

I just lige a option to be able to marge my wife and my Photo lib and have it in 1 place iCloud.

Amazon have that option and I will have to run with this for now. I hope it will be include in the futur.

Do you not have access to any computer at all? If you are keeping your photos only in iCloud, you need urgently a way to make backup copies of the photos on a different device, a PC or a Mac.

How are you backing up your photos now?

Right now I use Amazon + Sonology NAS (sync with the Amazon account) + Offline disk for a yearly dump.

Better safe then sorry :-)

I have access to a Mac but we never use it to view fotos and I just like it to be simple to view picture.

If there was a option to share the photo lib stored in Icloud that will be the best solution for us. I can then make a offline copy in the same way I use Amazon.

Now, I'd like my wife to be able access our Photos library from her phone just like I can while at this same time sharing the iCloud storage so she can turn on iCloud Photo Library.

The iCloud Photo Library is tied to an AppleID. To access it from a device, you have to use the same AppleID on all devices and cannot share the iCloud Photo Library between AppleIDs. See this link: iCloud Photo Library - Apple Support

To share photos with others use Shared Albums. The Shared Albums do not count against your paid iCloud storage. See this link: iCloud: iCloud Photo Sharing FAQ

Because Shared albums do not count against the iCloud Storage description, there are upload limits, see this list:

iCloud: Photo Stream limits

One other option would be to use Family Sharing:

You would be able to have a Shared Photo Album where you could both put photos into, and which would then show each of you all of the photos you have added.

Plus SMS Messages, FaceTime calls, iMessages.

To the outside world, except for cellular phone calls, both your phones belong to one person. And with Continuity that can change.

One problem with Shared albums is, that the photos in the Shared albums do not have the full resolution of the original photos in the Photos Libary. Shared Albums are meant to show off your photos to family and friends, but not to transfer photos between libraries.

I think you'll find the same issue there my friend.

Google accounts, like Apple IDs are designed for a single user.

What you said you wanted was one photo library for 2 accounts. I don't think you're going to get that with Google Photos. To have "her" photos populate in "your" Google Photos library, she will sign in to "your" account.
