Q: Icloud Photo Sync with Window 10

Morning all,

 

I have an Iphone 6 and an Ipad Pro.

 

I am currently going through a process of cleaning up my libary on my Qnap Nas and I want to be able to calalouge my photos a bit better. I previously used Iphoto on my 08 Macbook but sadly this has passed onto the Silicon Gods in the Sky

 

In Windows I have my Qnap set as my default save location for all my Documents and Picture. This means when I load up Icloud for Windows they acutomatically save on my Nas

 


Back to the Sync. So currently the sync works between my Ipad and Iphone. I have a 50gb Icloud storage and planning to up this to 1gb if this works. I have couple of folders in IOS Photos > Albums (e.g Cars, Trips) they replicate on both IOS devices.

 

Issue is they do not appear on Icloud for windows, How do I get this folder structure to appear?

 

Second issue is how can i bulk upload Folder structures to Icloud to appear in  IOS Photo > Albums. At present if I place pictures (in a folder) in the Upload folder in Icloud on Windows they upload OK but the folder structure does not work.

 

This works fine if I use the Icloud Drive but I want to actually view them in the Photo App

 

Sadly this works this way in Google Photo's but I don't want to have to use another 3rd Party App. Espeically since most Google Apps (maps and chrome) zap the battery.

 

Any help would be great.

 

Mike

iPhone 6, iOS 9.3.5

    Thanks' for your reply but I mean this in the kindest way. If you had actually read what I posted you would see my issue with uploading the folder structure and not images.

    Apologies if I misunderstood.  As far as I know, folders can't be uploaded to iCloud.
