How to share photos with iCloud Photo LibraryĪpple's photo service doesn't just provide online backups and sync for your images and video: The company also offers a free sharing service that allows you to send shared albums to friends and family (or create a publicly-shared website).

Note: If you plan on using Optimize Storage, we suggest having at least one device that stores your entire library locally (usually a Mac with a large local or external hard drive), so you have multiple backups of your photographs and video.Ĭhoose either the Optimize iPhone Storage option or the Download and Keep Originals option.

You can switch between optimizing your iPhone's storage or storing your full library locally: Here's how! Thankfully, Apple offers an Optimize Storage option, which lets you store full-resolution photos and videos of only your most recently shot and accessed imagery all older photos and videos are available to download via iCloud and are stored as low-resolution previews on your iPhone to save space. (I have a 256GB iPhone, but almost a terabyte of 4K video stored in iCloud - it gets unwieldy, fast!) If you routinely shoot lots of 4K video or high-quality images on your iPhone or iPad, you may run out of storage space on your device. How to optimize your photo and video storage If you choose to enable quick sync between your devices in the form of My Photo Stream, you can additionally enable the Upload Burst Photos option to sync every image in a Burst collection otherwise, iCloud will only sync the Favorite photo from a Burst collection to save space. Tap the Upload to My Photo Stream toggle to enable instant photo and video sync over Wi-Fi. Tip: If you frequently swap between your iPhone and iPad and want to use screenshots or photos you've recently taken on either, this is worth enabling.

It is worth noting that this only works with images: Apple doesn't currently support quick syncing with video files just yet. If you'd like to expedite this process, however, you can enable My Photo Stream: This will automatically sync any images you take to your other devices when you (and they) are connected to a Wi-Fi network. When you enable iCloud Photo Library, your photos and video will by default automatically upload to iCloud, and eventually sync with your other iOS devices and Macs. How to quickly sync images with your other devices Tap the iCloud Photo Library toggle at the top of the screen to turn the service on or off.
