How to Upload Photos from iCloud to iPhone
Smartphone cameras allow you to take photos anywhere, anytime. A constantly growing photo archive requires storage and processing. Apple offers its users iCloud storage for this purpose. Photos are automatically uploaded to the cloud and available on all devices connected to one account. As a result, having taken a picture from a smartphone, you can edit it on a computer or tablet. How to upload photos from iCloud to iPhone depends on the user’s chosen cloud use case.
ICloud Music Library
This feature appeared with the release of iOS 10.3. Accordingly, it is turned on on devices that support it or have been updated to the latest, 11th version of the operating system. iPhone 5 and 6 support the installation of iOS 10, but not all users install it, fearing hypothetical “brakes”. Owners of relatively new models 7 or the latest 8 and X do not need to think about this. Their devices will survive several more OS updates without any problems.
The footage will be uploaded, as before, without user intervention. The advantage of the library is the automatic synchronization of the changes made on all devices, the ability to save Live Photos and videos, as well as expanded support for formats. In theory, you can upload an unlimited number of photographs to the library, but they will be taken into account. Consequently, the amount of storage will have to be increased to the required size.
While iCloud Music Library outperforms Photo Stream in terms of capabilities, Apple gives users the ability to choose their own archive storage method. The decision depends on the goals pursued by the iPhone owner. If 1000 images per month seems like a sufficient number to you in order not to pay for additional volume, use Photo Stream. When the quality and processing speed of the footage is more important than the symbolic monthly cost, the more progressive storage method will outweigh the scales.
My photostream
The My Photo Stream feature has been around for a long time on the iPhone and can be enabled on any smartphone model, starting with the 4S. Images will be uploaded to the cloud automatically in the range of a trusted Wi-Fi network. At the same time, no more than one thousand photos can be uploaded to the cloud within 30 days. When the specified amount is reached, the oldest image should be automatically deleted, making room for a new one, which will be placed at the end of the list.
The main convenience of this method is that the amount of photos sent to iCloud does not count towards the free 5 GB. In other words, 1000 images are stored for a month without taking up precious space. You can pull them out to the device at any time.
ICloud Features
For full use of the “apple” smartphone, its owner gets an Apple ID. The presence of a single account opens up to the user all the possibilities of the ecosystem created by Cupertino engineers. One of them is the use of cloud storage. Everyone gets free 5 GB on a permanent basis. Backups, documents and photos will be stored in this space.
You can use My Photo Stream or iCloud Music Library to post photos. Let’s consider both possibilities in more detail.
Use Google Photos, not iCloud Music Library
If you love taking pictures, then, probably, photos take up a lot of space in iCloud. Of course, you can simply turn off the photo stream and store photos only on the iPhone and iPad, or you can simply constantly transfer them to your computer.
However, there is also a more convenient method. installing the Google Photos application (download from the App Store). With this service, you can store an unlimited number of photos up to 13 megapixels without their compression, and the message that “iCloud has run out” will not bother you.
How to sign in to the iPhone cloud
It will not be possible to get into the storage through the standard Safari browser: you will be asked to log in to the iPhone and go into it, but in the meantime, it may be necessary to visit the full version, and not the mobile.
For some, it is possible with the help of Google Chrome, but soon Apple will cover this possibility. To be able to log into your cloud or friend’s account, simply click “Share” and select “Full Site”, and then follow the resulting link. Similarly, you can immediately find the button “Full version”.
When you might need to sign in to the iPhone cloud
The data required for synchronization is marked
It may be necessary to get into the repository through the site version in the following cases:
- Asking a friend to drop an important file from his cloud. In order not to suffer with account unlinking and other troubles, you can simply log into iCloud in the browser.
- Broken iPhone. For important meetings, you can pull out a contact number from synchronized contacts.
- Desire for more convenient navigation. Someone likes this version more.
Remember: by synchronizing your data with the cloud and being able to enter it, you will never lose important information.
How to free up iCloud storage space
Running out of iCloud space is a common occurrence among iOS device users who don’t want to buy more cloud storage. In this post, you will learn how to tidy up your storage and forget about messages, about insufficient iCloud storage space.
DON’T BUY iCloud Storage. FREE UP iCloud Space Easy!
Backups of applications in iСloud
In addition to backing up photos, videos and the entire system, backup copies of applications are also stored in iCloud, you can manage them by going to Settings → iCloud → Storage.
Here you can disable applications for which you do not need to backup and delete those that have already been created. Just in the menu, mark those programs whose data you need to restore your iPhone or iPad. Feel free to delete the rest, thereby increasing the free space in iCloud.
Where to download iCloud?
You do not need to download anything, the cloud service is built into iOS starting from version 5. Fully all functions become available after a free update to iOS 8 and higher. It is also worth noting that registration is unnecessary: login and password from Apple ID are used to enter.
Do not transfer your data from iCloud to third parties under any circumstances! They will be able to study all your photos, correspondence and other materials.
How to increase iCloud storage
If you are one of those photographers who take their pictures exclusively on the iPhone 7 Plus and also store all these photos in iCloud, you definitely need to increase the amount of cloud storage. It is very simple to do this, and this pleasure is quite inexpensive. start at 0.99 for 50GB.
You can expand your storage here: Settings. [Your Name]. iCloud. Manage Storage. Change storage plan.
Disable iCloud Drive
There is one more iCloud Drive function that is quite new for you and me, which quietly appeared in the next iOS update. So iCloud Drive allows you to store and sync through the cloud application data almost all that are installed on your iPhone.
Thus, it turns out that all your Viber or WhatsApp correspondence with attachments, videos and porn pictures flies straight to the virtual storage. Again, the question is. do you need it? Disable!
On your iOS device, go to Settings. Apple ID. iCloud, scroll down the page and disable either iCloud Drive completely, or select which applications should and which should not store their data in the cloud.
Try it. it should help. Well, if it helped, like it (click one of the multi-colored buttons).
Some documents took up all the free space on iCloud
[UPDATE: This section was relevant for iOS 10 and below. In iOS 11, “Documents and Data” includes BACKUP COPIES]
From complaints in the Комментарии и мнения владельцев from many users, I realized that the problem of overflowing iCloud storage lies not only in photos and backups.
There is another source of endless kilobytes that just strive to fill your cloud storage. This source is called “Documents”, but this doesn’t make you think which way to dig in order to clear iCloud.
Digging through iCloud Settings, I found one interesting page. Below I have provided a short plan of action:
STEP 1. Go to Settings. Apple ID. iCloud. iCloud (yes, this is not a typo, but you need to click on the storage strip).
STEP 2. Click “Manage” and go to the page for managing your repository.
STEP 3. See the “Documents and Data” section? This is where the data that applications have ever “stored” in iCloud. Let’s clean up a little here.
The documents that take up the most space are at the very top of the list. I hope that you yourself will determine what has eaten up all your iCloud storage space.
STEP 4. Click on “gluttony”, and in the window that opens, click on the Change button (upper right corner). You can delete one item at a time, or scroll down and Delete all.
To prevent applications from dumping their “junk” in the cloud storage. disable iCloud Drive.
How to free up space on iCloud
As we just found out, the main problem with overflowing iCloud storage is photos being stored and possibly twice. To see what takes up the most space in YOUR iCloud storage, go to Settings. [Your Name]. iCloud. Manage Storage.
And here in this place everything should become clear to you. Usually the first two sections (iCloud Media Library and BACKUP) “eat up” the entire space. Our task is to remove duplicate photos and thus free up space in iCloud.
It is not so easy to cope with Mediatek, tk. you need to manually clean up photos from your devices and wait for the changes to be applied to the photos synced to the cloud. Therefore, I suggest excluding photos from the backups you create. To do this, we do this:
STEP 1. Click on the Backups item, then on the name of your device.
STEP 2. In the SELECTING DATA FOR CREATING A COPY section, turn off the “Media Library” item (as well as the data of all those programs that, in your opinion, are not required for backup).
STEP 3. Scroll down the page and click on “Delete Copy”.
Yes, we need to delete the backup that took up all available iCloud storage space. Don’t worry, we will manually create a new copy that will no longer include the photostream. To do this, we do this:
STEP 1. Go to Settings. [Your Name]. iCloud. iCloud Backup
STEP 2. Click “Create a backup” wait until the creation process is completed.
As you already understood, we deleted the old backup and then created a new one. The new backup does not contain a photo stream, which means it takes up significantly less space in the cloud.
It may also happen that your Media Library has grown to an indecent size (more than 5GB). In this case, you need to either increase your iCloud storage or transfer photos from iPhone to computer and then delete them from iPhone.
Where did the free space go?
So! Synchronization! You know the meaning of the term “sync to iCloud“? In short, this means that the information you have selected will also be stored in Apple’s “cloud” storage.
In the future, this information can be synchronized with other devices that you use. Now take a look at the screenshot of iCloud settings below, and tell me which from the list will take up the most space.?
Right! Of course, the photos that you take on your iPhone, as well as backups that also automatically go to the cloud.
And now everyone who has activated the synchronization of the photo stream in iCloud honestly answer the question below, indicating your answer in the Комментарии и мнения владельцев to the article.
How to get to photos that are synced to the iCloud cloud?
Look at the statistics and think again. do you really need it so that all the photos are copied somewhere else? Personally, I have this feature disabled. I regularly manually copy photos that are important to me to my computer (link to instructions below).
Go ahead. Did you know that in the iOS settings there is an option to set up an iCloud backup? What does this mean and how does it work? Every time your iPhone is connected to a charger and is in Wi-Fi range, it automatically backs up to the cloud. This is done regularly, and you usually don’t even know about it.
Management of backup in iCloud of any of your devices is carried out as follows: go to Settings. [Your Name], then scroll down the page and select the desired device. On the Device Information page, there is a radio button for “iCloud Backup”.
How to upgrade and manage your iCloud Storage — Apple Support
What information is stored in the backup? I wrote about this in a separate article (here’s a link). But most importantly, the backup can also include all the same photos.
It turns out that with an incorrectly configured iPhone, the entire photo stream is copied to iCloud twice. First time in its original form, second time as part of a backup.
This is the most common reason for an overflowing iCloud storage. If you really need photos to be available in the cloud, set it up in one place. either a photo stream or in a backup (I would choose the former).
How do I free up space on iCloud? [Instruction]
Recently I was visiting friends and I, as an “Apple lover” (who said that?), Was once again asked to help with a problematic iPhone. The phone periodically popped up the message “Can’t create a backup for this iPhone because there is not enough free space in iCloud”, which was more annoying than causing any inconvenience.
This problem, if you can call it that, is faced by many iPhone owners. But what to do with it, and why suddenly all the space in the iCloud storage turned out to be full, not many people know. Therefore, today I will tell you how to free up space in iCloud
As you probably all know, when registering an Apple ID, Apple allocates 5GB of free space on its servers. These 5GB are intended for storing personal information (contacts, notes, etc.) and backups.
At first it may seem that 5GB is a lot, but in fact it is “fucking so little”. Statistics are such that more than half of users do not pay enough attention to setting up their iOS devices.
Therefore, quite often, many of them are faced with a situation where the iCloud storage is full and the above message starts to appear on the iPhone screen.
To give you an idea of what you are dealing with, below I will tell you why this message appears and what needs to be configured so that the storage is used optimally and does not overflow.

How to get free 50 GB in iCloud for 4 months
As part of a limited promotion, Apple is allowing all iCloud users to temporarily get 50GB of cloud storage for free, up from the standard 5GB. And it doesn’t matter how long you have been using Apple cloud storage. even if you previously bought an advanced iCloud plan of 50 GB or more (you just need to upgrade to 5 GB in advance). You can get a free seat in a few seconds, but this is not a permanent promotion. Let’s figure it out in more detail.
You can use iCloud for 4 months for free
The new promotion, which Apple seems to be running in conjunction with re: Store reseller, works in a similar way to Apple Music’s trial period. It allows you to get 50 GB in iCloud for 4 months from the date of participation. That is, at the end of the free period, you will need to make a decision. either continue to use the extended plan and pay 59 rubles a month, or again switch to a tariff with 5 GB of storage.
How to get 50 GB in iCloud for free
Increase iCloud storage in seconds
After completing an iCloud “trial” period, you will not be able to switch back to your old 5GB data plan until the period ends. Then you will need to either stay with 50 GB of iCloud space and pay for it, or selectively delete data from the cloud to “fit” into 5 GB (otherwise Apple will not let you choose less storage).
You can change your iCloud plan in the Settings menu. Apple ID. iCloud. “Storage Management”. “Change storage plan”. “Reduce volume”.
Before upgrading to 5 GB, you will have to delete everything that exceeds this volume
Why Apple still gives 5GB in iCloud?
Interestingly, since the inception of iCloud, the amount of free space in the service has not changed, and 8 years have passed. Apple users both received 5 free gigabytes in iCloud, and continue to receive. No matter how many Apple devices you have and whether you buy an iPhone SE or an expensive new iMac, you still get 5 gigabytes.
Today, 5 gigabytes in iCloud is not enough even to back up an iPhone that contains a couple of thousand photos or several “heavy” applications. What are they for then? Not quite clear. Data storage costs are reduced. Competitors today easily provide unlimited storage for photos, but Apple does not seem to notice all this, continuing to offer 5 gigabytes.
Things seemed to get off the ground when Apple made changes to the terms for providing access to iCloud cloud storage. Now the most expensive plan costs only 599 rubles per month and offers as many as 2 TB of memory. It’s cool, but who needs that much space? Why not increase the free space to at least 50 gigabytes? over, there is no intermediate option between 200 gigabytes and as much as 2 TB. As if no one was buying 400GB, 500GB or 1TB.
If Apple does not want to change the amount of free storage in iCloud, it could provide the ability to change the amount of free space provided depending on the devices that the user owns. Better yet, provide 50 GB for free. Still, there are no “stray” ones in iCloud, as in other services, all users of Apple storage are buyers of iPhone, iPad and other “apple” devices.
From backup data
But this is only the first way. You can free up space by eliminating unnecessary backup data. So, how to clean iCloud from copies of user information?
The process as a whole is not much different from the previously proposed algorithm. But there are some differences. precisely, the removal of backups is done like this:
- Smartphone or tablet must be turned on.
- Go to “Settings”.iCloud- “Storage”.
- Select the “Manage” function.
- Click on the device whose data you want to clear.
- Click on “Delete copy”.
- Confirm the operation by clicking on the “Turn off and delete” button.
The described algorithm of actions will help to get rid of only backup copies of information. You can do the same from a computer.
Removing backups from PC
Let’s take a look at how to clean iCloud from PC. When it comes to deleting backups, you can use iTunes to bring your idea to life. Every user can do this. To remove copies of data through iTunes, you need:
- Connect iPhone to PC via a dedicated wire.
- Install the latest version of “iTunes” for the operating system.
- Run the program and wait for synchronization with the device.
- Go to “Settings” and open the “Devices” section.
- Select the desired copy of the data and click on “Delete”.
Fast, simple, convenient. Although in practice this option is not used very often.
Formatting methods
It should be noted that by default, all owners of “apple” products are allocated 5 GB of free space on the iCloud cloud service. If necessary, for a fee, you can increase this limit.
Despite this, from time to time you still have to think about how to clean your iCloud storage. This can be done in several ways. For example, you can format the cloud in whole or in part. Depending on preferences, the algorithm of actions will also change.
Today, Aykloud cleaning can be carried out both through a mobile device and using a computer. Accordingly, the procedure is both complete and partial. Next, we will tell you about all the options for the development of events.
Partial deletion
How to clean iCloud on iPhone? First tip. it is the deletion of only certain data. The point is that the data cloud stores a variety of user files. These are programs, pictures, videos, and backups. You can free up some space by partially deleting information.
In order not to ponder how to clean iCloud for a long time, we suggest doing this:
- Turn on the “apple” gadget. Be sure to wait until he is fully ready for further work.
- Go to “Settings”.iCloud.
- Select “Storage“.
- Click on “Control”.
- Select the data to be deleted. Then click on “Change” in the upper right corner of the screen.
- Click on the “Delete” button.
This procedure is considered the longest, but the most suitable for clearing the cloud from unnecessary information.
How to clean iCloud: tips and tricks
Any copies of the backup data have their own size. When working with computers, problems do not arise. PCs are equipped with a large amount of memory, a huge amount of information can be stored there. This is not the case with smartphones. Especially when it comes to iPhone.
This gadget allows you to back up your data using the iCloud service. It has its own limitations on the allocated space for user information. If you do not format the cloud from time to time, the storage will sooner or later fill up to 100%.
In this article, we will show you how to clean iCloud. What every user should know about this process?
Via iCloud for Windows
How to clean iCloud through the official cloud page? The process is possible only from a computer and if there is an Internet connection.
- Visit iCloud.com.
- Log in to the system using Apple ID.
- Open the “Storage” service.
- Select the required components and click on “Remove”.
The use of the official page is not very common in practice. Usually people think about how to clean iCloud from mobile devices. From now on, you know the answer to this question.!
Change the way photos are saved
If keeping recently taken pictures close at hand is extremely important (if not on your phone, then at least in the cloud), and you don’t want to uncheck the iCloud sync point associated with adding photos to the cloud, then you need to change the “Save originals” option. to the “Optimize storage” option. In the latter case, any images (even those that are uploaded on the network, without fail undergo a high-quality archiving procedure). There will be noticeably more space, and there will never be any problems with loading.
Why and what is filling up iCloud storage
The main space of the free iCloud cloud storage limit is consumed by operating system backups, which are automatically created and then updated several times a week, bringing the data to the most current form. If there is little space due to backups in the cloud, and there is an urgent need to keep only documents or messages there, then the “save backup copies” function can be turned off in “Settings”.
But it is better to shift the responsibility of saving data to a computer using a similar function in iTunes. Photos are in second place in terms of iCloud storage waste. Again, the function of syncing images and videos is also turned off in the settings, in a few seconds.
At the end of the list, as a rule, documents are weaved (completely different. boarding passes in PDF format, recorded in third-party programs, books from iBooks or notes spiced with photos, Pages pages or Numbers tables) and messages transmitted via iMessage.
The example described above of how free space is consumed depends on what synchronization parameters are set, and therefore, even before dealing with the lack of space, it is worth delving into the options offered:
-
Open “Settings”, select the first item in the list (speech, about the latest versions of iOS) thematically related to iCloud, iTunes Store and Apple ID account;
Then it remains to place a checkmark in front of those programs and data that need to be transferred to iCloud;
The “Manage storage” button is also available right there, where developers allow you to see exactly which data take up more free space and start taking active steps to remove the excess.
Download iCloud to PC
The second option to look beyond the veil of cloud storage secrets is to download a special tool that exactly repeats all the settings from the iPhone, iPad or iPod menu. The utility is available at the link (suitable for both Windows and MacOS). Installation takes a few minutes, and for authorization you will again need a username and password.
Of the minuses. it is impossible to work with photos, as on the site through a browser (accordingly, you cannot free up space). On the plus side, you can work with other applications, delete the accumulated cache, free up space by clearing all messengers and messages. In addition, it is here that additional space is bought if nothing happened from a smartphone or tablet.
Cleaning from a computer
If for some reason it is not very convenient to free up space in iCloud using a smartphone or tablet, then you can easily change the working tool, armed with a personal computer. The procedure in this case is as follows:
Go through all the storage items
Are your messages taking up too much free space? You can delete linked data! Is your iBook full of unnecessary books? And there are no problems here, the main thing is to get into the settings and choose a way to clean the data.
Delete backups
- iCloud stores important Apple ID account information, especially even those that appeared in the cloud a few years ago. And therefore, if another, now unused technique was previously tied to the Apple ID account, then some old backup copy necessarily remained in the storage;
This guess is definitely worth checking by looking in the “iCloud Storage” section, and then going down to the “Backups” item;
Easiest Ways to Clear iCloud Storage from iPhone, iPad, and Computer
iCloud is Apple’s proprietary cloud storage that allows you to synchronize data between different smartphones and tablets united by one Apple ID account, save music, photos, books and application information, create backups of files stored in the operating system, and at the same time use the Find iPhone “, which allows in a few seconds (with the correct settings!) to determine the location of lost or stolen equipment.
Access to iCloud is issued for free immediately after purchasing an iPhone, iPad or iPod, but with an unpleasant limitation. 5 gigabytes of free space on the cloud storage. Therefore, it is so important to know how to clear iCloud storage.
✏️ They write to us:
How much storage will I get in Apple Cloud after I subscribe to Apple One? Will iCloud cancel or merge with Apple One?
A single subscription to all Apple services announced in September began to work in Russia.
Users will have access to two options for the Apple One subscription: individual and family.
▪️ Individual tariff plan includes: Apple Music, Apple TV, Apple Arcade and 50 GB in iCloud. 365 rubles per month; ▪️ Family plan includes: Apple Music, Apple TV, Apple Arcade and 200 GB in iCloud. 525 rubles per month.
With a subscription to streaming and gaming services, everything is clear. If you previously had a qualifying subscription, it will be canceled after upgrading to Apple One and you will receive a refund for any unused months or days.
With an iCloud subscription, things are a little more complicated:
If Apple One has more iCloud storage than your current paid storage, then your current plan will be canceled and you will receive a refund for unused months and days, just like with a subscription to other services. The volume of the cloud will be equal to the volume according to the Apple One tariff plan.
If Apple One has iCloud capacity equal to your current cloud capacity, you will receive cloud space on both your current plan and Apple One subscription during your free trial. After the trial period ends, the current iCloud plan will be canceled and the funds paid in advance will be refunded. Storage volume will be equal to the volume according to the Apple One tariff plan.
If the volume of iCloud in Apple One is less than the current paid plan, then after the start of the subscription, you will receive the total amount of space in the cloud. Current iCloud subscription will not be canceled.
In this case, you can downgrade or cancel the current iCloud tariff according to the instructions:
Go to Settings. Your Apple ID. iCloud. Manage Storage. iCloud Storage.
Click Change storage plan.
choose the appropriate tariff plan and click Done.
If at the same time the amount of data in the cloud will be more than the selected tariff, synchronization will be paused until you manually delete unnecessary data from iCloud.
Similarly, you can increase the volume of iCloud by purchasing a subscription after the Apple One.
