IPAD 2 , IOS 9.3.5 . Previously , I had stored my data from VIDEO DL apps in the iCloud and if I deleted the data from VIDEO DL apps on my IPAD 2 does it also deleted the data from the iCloud ?

How did the videos get in iCloud? Did you export them from the App into the iCloud drive?


If so, then they should not be deleted from iCloud if you remove them from the App.


If the App itself uploads to iCloud then they may be removed from iCloud when you delete from the App if the App syncs changes to iCloud.

My next question was how to save my ipad video data from the apps to iCloud Drive .

The VideoDL app would need to have away to export the videos. A sharing icon. Many times it looks like an arrow coming out of a box.User uploaded file


That generally has an "Open With" option or even Save to option you can use.

Hopefully Apple have a option to delete the data from the apps but the data still there in iCloud

Happle has very little say on how the Apps manage their data and store it in iCloud. They cannot really impose a mechanism to app developers.


Its up to the developer to add this type of management to files they save in iCloud.

Thank you for your help , phil0124 .


What apps ? - VIDEO DL , I purchased it a few years ago and I could'nt find it in the apps store now .


How do they store the data ? It was stored in VIDEO DL apps


Do they offer local storage of the data ? It was stored in my ipad 2 in the video DL apps



What do the Developers say about this ? I had not contacted them yet . Also unsure whether they will get back to me or not , Apps no more at apps store and it's been a few years last purchased it .

Thanks once again .


Video data was sync to the iCloud not to the iCloud Drive . You have a point , if I delete the video data from the ipad and automatically the data that was saved to iCloud will also be deleted .


My next question was how to save my ipad video data from the apps to iCloud Drive . I think I was unable to do it , I can only save it to goggle drive or drop box . But still , it cannot upload to google drive or drop box .
