As a free store up to 500,000 photos in iCloud
ICloud cloud storage allocated to each user 5GB of free space to store various data.
But many do not know what to sync photos using Photo Stream feature, this place is not in use.
This article will explain how to use Photo Stream and iCloud for free storage in the amount of 500,000 shares.
The "My Photo Stream" used by many owners of iPhone and iPad. Really convenient for the second received sync photos with other devices. Those who have read about the function "My Photo Stream" on Apple's website drew attention to the fact that there are limits.
"To save space, saves photostream on iPhone, iPad and iPod touch only the latest 1000 photos. They remain in the photostream 30 days, so you have time to remove the excess images or save the most valuable. "
That is, the 1001-th picture will automatically remove from photostream 1st picture, and after 30 days of deleted all the old photos.
Naturally, removal of the image happens in the cloud and not in the device to which the picture was taken or to which it was moved.
This causes all users to use the photostream only as a data transmission medium, and iCloud is not involved as a cloud file repository.
However, Apple's Advertising Department, talking about other similar functions "Common photostream", apparently for reasons of "toad strangling" does not specify storage options photos in the "General photostream." And here it is becoming more interesting.
"Overall photostream" 100 allows you to create folders to store 5,000 pictures in each. Thus, 500,000 images are linked to the same iCloud account without any time to delete the data. If you have multiple accounts - you can yourself calculate the maximum possible number of photos.
That all happened without "fanaticism", set the following limits on downloads: 1,000 photos per hour, 10,000 photos a day (in principle, such restrictions exist in the function "My photostream", but there is still set max to 25,000 pictures per month).
"Overall photostream" easily integrates viewing photos with different IOS devices (in Photos), OS X (via iPhoto), Windows PC (via the iCloud Control Panel), Apple TV (via iCloud Photos).
The only drawback (from the paid cloud storage) is perhaps that no automatic synchronization of folders, the need to control the number of pictures in a folder and a careful approach to the folder name (you probably should not call the folder "Fishing", if it will be stored 10 photos).
The function is activated in the following way: "Basic" - "the iCloud" - "Picture" - "Sharing pictures".
The folder icon will appear in the photo as iCloud cloud to create a folder for "General photostream."
