How To Upload Photos To iCloud And Delete From iPhone 

Thank you!!!! You are a lifesaver! I had 67 GB of photos & videos stored on my iPad and I was approaching my total 128 GB. I purchased 2 TB of iCloud storage space each month for my family in case something happened to any devices but didn’t know how to use it to clear my iPad storage. I like to look at my crisp in focus photos. I thought the only way to save space on my iPad using the iCloud was to upload my photos and only be able to see that faint view that required me to download each picture to actually see the details anytime I looked at them, so I never used it. I never understood the File system on my iPad until this video. It is fantastic. I just sat down and saved 2GB of photos to my iCloud file; deleted the photos stored on my iPad and instantly freed up 2GB. And it’s a clear version of photos whenever I click on my iCloud Photos. I can’t thank you enough! You’re a genius! 😊

Its amazing how these simple features are so much useful if explained in a short crisp format like you do.. Thanks a lot..cheerz from India..

Sorry but this is ridiculous. If we talk about clearing storage then it’s not only 1 photo and 1 by 1 this will take 1 months if you have hundreds of gb

I have more than 100gb of stored footage and pictures on my computer and I don’t want to pay for more storage on iCloud just wanted to share the way I store my media for 3 years I’ve been doing it this way and it’s pretty good but I can see how iCloud might be easier and less troublesome for some people

thankyou so easy & informative !!! the people at apple never know how to explain but u did so great

hello, when i save the pictures to files " icloud drive " , there is one problem : the original date of the picture taken doesnt show , is there a solution ?? i really need to keep the original dates

If you use the last method, what happens if your iCloud subscription runs out? Are the photos still stored in the iCloud file?

Yes! Just did my first “batch”! Just go where there’s good wifi so your images can quickly upload from cloud! I’ve been deleting 100 photos / day and now I plan to upload 100 / day to files and delete once they are there Slowly decluttering my phone… feels so good to rid photos from so many years ago… where I have like 12 of the same image, living rent free on my iPhone.. haha

Hi, i do not have the options you have mentioned below.....and i do not know if the photos will remain on the phone or will be deleted ... can you please help?

Does it make more space on iphone? I want to free up my iphone space

Will it free up storage that way if I move it to files and delete it because it’s still technically on my phone??

you were no help!

Can I delete things from my iPhone?

Dude this will not store live photos in the drive using files app

How can i be sure that i can definitely remove the photos from the Photo app if the photos are in icloud drive?

But is that possible - iCloud photos sync on then photos go to iCloud then sync off and delete in photos app. Means photo save in iCloud but not in photos app ????

After transferring pictures to iCloud, and deleting them on my phone, my phone storage is still full, can you help further?

Thank you. This helped with my phone storage and slow iCloud optimisation struggle.

which camera and lenses did you use in this video?

if i synced photos to iCloud and delete it from phone? its gonna delete from both?

Oh love the files idea! Will try! Thanks

Thanks a million 🙏

Finally, great information thank you thank you thank you thank you

I need to send all photos to iCloud and delete them from my iPhone, is there mode to do that for all them on one click , I have more than 7000 photos and I can't do it one by one please thank you

thank you very much for the video, very appreciated

i dont have sync option

it is pointless because it will take the exact same space on the phone after you sync the drive.

Thank you ❤

Thanks!

iCloud Files are still saved locally if you save from your Album! Doubled the space usage and had less space after I followed this 👎

This method worked

I don’t have an access to iCloud what I should do

Than you Trevor

Than you

Yeah that’s good

Thank you now i hawe more space on iphone 11pro
