Mar 27, 2019  iCloud Photos gives you nearly the full functionality of the Photos app on your Mac. There’s even more functionality built into the iCloud photo library: you can share photos via email or link, create new albums, organize Moments, etc. As it won’t sync all the photos to Mac for you to even delete the duplicates using Gemini. If you don’t have enough iPhone, iPad, or Mac storage for your entire photo library, iCloud Photos includes an option to optimize storage.Photos and videos are still accessible from the Photos. Basically, an iCloud Photo Library windows is a separate service which can be enabled by you according to your requirement for Photos for Mac as well as Photos for iOS. ICloud photo library storage uploads all the images that you have clicked or have stored in a library of your iPhone or Mac to itself. Mar 03, 2020  iCloud Photos works with the Photos app to keep your photos and videos securely stored in iCloud, and up to date on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac, Apple TV, and iCloud.com. How it works iCloud Photos automatically keeps every photo and video you take in iCloud, so you can access your library from any device, anytime you want.

Feb 24, 2015  Here's a very quick demo of the new Photos app for OS X, specifically iCloud Photo Library. The 7400 photos & 1000 videos aren't on this Mac. Watch them download on. ICloud Photos can take quite a long time to sync your library. This is all dependent on the file size of the photos & videos, the time your Mac is awake and able to sync, and your internet connection. If you search here, you can dozens of similar questions. Dec 25, 2019  Using the iCloud photos library can be a convenient way to manage your digital images and videos. However, many iPhone users have lost parts of (or all of) their library as a result of not fully understanding how the system works. My icloud was full so I upgraded to 50gb but it is still full. I use a mac, iphone and 2 ipads.

If you want your Mac's photos to wirelessly sync to all your other iOS devices and computers, you want to set up iCloud Photo Library: Apple's photo sync service lets you back up your images on all your devices, as well as access them — online or offline — on said devices. If you're willing to pay for the extra iCloud storage space, you can store an incredible amount of photos and videos, all accessible at the touch of a button or multi-touch screen.

Here's how to set it up on your Mac and get everything configured to your liking!

How to optimize your photo and video storage

If you routinely shoot 4K video or high-quality images on your iPhone, iPad, or DSLR, you may run out of storage space fast. (I have a 1TB iMac, but also have almost a terabyte of 4K video stored in iCloud — it gets unwieldy, fast!) This is especially true if you have a Mac laptop with limited hard drive space: It's nice to look at your iPhone's gorgeous Portrait mode photos, but not necessarily always practical to store all of them locally.

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 device to save space. You can switch between optimizing your Mac's photos storage or storing your full library locally: Here's how!

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.

1. Launch the Photos app on your Mac.
2. Click Photos in the App menu in the upper left corner of your screen.

3. Select Preferences from the drop-down menu.
