Q: Send multiple photos to iCloud drive

Hey All

 

I was forced into upgrading my iCloud storage as my iphone backup wouldn't fit into the free 5gb allowance (note to apple, you should really allow one backup for free outside of the allowance at least, im buying a $1000 phone every year So it's the least you could do)

 

Anyway, I now have a 50gb allowance and I'm only using several go for my backup so I'm trying to find mother reasons to use it.

 

I Just had a thought, perhaps I could store photos in the drive that I'm not wanting In my camera roll... sexy holiday snaps for example.

 

But oh my god no... I can only send ONE photo at a time. The minute I select more than one the "send to iCloud Drive" option disappears... are you kidding me! I miss the days with iPhone that whenever I thought of something I want to do, I try it out and "it just works"

 

please telll me I'm missing something here...

iPhone 7 Plus, iOS 10.0.2

    Apparently that is not a feature which is available in iOS Photos. As LACAllen said, send feedback to Apple to tell them you would like this feature: Apple - Feedback.

     

    Personally, I think .99 a month is well worth it for keeping backups of my devices. I have erased and recovered my iPhone 4 multiple times when testing for this forum, and have always had the restored version look exactly like it did before I erased it. I also used my iPhone 4 backup to set up my iPhone 5s. And I can't tell you how many times we get posts with people begging us to tell them some way to recover data for their lost or stolen device that they haven't ever backed up anywhere. I would bet that all of them would be willing to pay .99 a month to do that....

     

    So, based on what it is you want to do, there really is no way for you to fill up the extra storage space you have in iCloud unless you want to upload your photos from a computer or one at a time.

     

    Best of luck,
