Does a photo Shared Stream I set up reside only in my iCloud?

Or if someone accepts my share offer, does a copy of the stream appear and remain in her iCloud?
Generally speaking, where do Shared Streams live?

So the streams don't live on Apple's iCloud account, nor on individual devices. Are they ghosts?
Begs the question. Every digital photo must occupy space somewhere. Some are on my Camera Roll, which uses up the 32 gigs on my iPhone. The question has nothing to do with permissions, deletion of pictures or sharers, the question is, simply, where do the shared photo streams rest?
I have a suggestion in the notice one user has accepted sharing of my stream. The note is headed "iCloud" and there's a brief explanation of the iCloud service at he end of the note.
I suspect that is the short answer.

Can my PC-using friends subscribe to my iCloud photo sharing stream?

I sent the invitation, but when she clicks on it she gets a message that she needs an Apple device. I understood that family members on PCs would be able to see my shared photo stream - how od we do this?

I also need to help a friend who's trying to see shared photo streams on his Windows 7 PC. We've read all the documentation and troubleshooting tips and browsed answers in these forums -- many times.
He has a working iCloud account, which we verified by logging into it on iCloud.com. We've also installed iCloud Control Panel 3.1, and that seems to be working properly.
The problem is he's stuck at accepting an invitation to a shared photo stream. Whenever he clicks the link to join, he just gets taken to a Web page that says he needs an Apple device to join a shared photo stream. Based on what we have read we had thought that he should be able to join on a PC because he has an iCloud account and a properly installed iCloud Control Panel 3.1.
We know about the public Web site option that the photo stream owners can use, but some people do not like to use this option despite the URL being supposedly unique. We'd really like to just be able to get him to join a shared stream.
Where are we going wrong?

HT204085 Does the keychain have to be set up from only one Apple ID or can it be used among 2 or more Apple ID users? For example, my daughters each have I'd but my cc is on their accounts and my wife also has her own id with my cc.

Can the keychain from my phone and Apple ID link to 2 other different phones and Apple ID's and 1 new ipod and different id? Both daughters and wife use my credit card on their accounts.

We do this in my family now. We have one account for purchases, so it is used to share music and apps (I think that is in Settings/iTunes & App Stores). Each iDevice has this configured.
Then, each of us has our own iCloud account that is configured under Settings/iCloud. That then allows us to have our own Mail/Contacts/Calendars/Reminders/Safari Bookmarks/Notes/Passbook/Photo Stream/Documents & Data/Find My iPhone/and Backup. That Backup piece is pretty sweet and comes in handly if you replace your iDevice. You can just restore from it.
So we all share the Apple Store account but we all have our own iCloud accounts to keep the rest seperate or things like you mentioned are a nightmare.
In answer to what iCloud does for you: http://www.apple.com/icloud/features/
Think of it as an internet based ("cloud") area for all of those items listed in my response. What you need to remember is photo stream only maintans the last 1000 pictures so don't count it as a complete backup solution for your pictures. Even though I rarely sync with a computer these days, I do still try to sync my phone with iPhoto (I have an iMac) so that I have copies of all of my pictures. 1000 may not stretch as far as it sounds.

HT4858 re shared stream. I do not want to share any of my photos. I have a shared stream by accident. Can it be private?

How to make sure my 'shared stream is for my eyes only?

BTW - unless you have specifically invited people to your stream, or have made it public and have shared the URL where friends and family can find it, no one else can see it. Take a look at this informative article about Shared Photo Streams:

Why is my shared photo stream taking up space on my iPhone when I have turned off photo sharing?

I have an iPhone 5c with iOS 8.3. It's only an 8GB iPhone, so I only have about 5.2GB of space to use. So I have to be very picky about what stays and what goes on my iPhone. Photos is one of those things that don't stay on my phone long. I have deleted all of my pictures out of my albums (both camera roll and recently deleted) and there can be no photos found in my library. In settings, I turned off all photo sharing capabilities, so I shouldn't be getting shared photos from family members on my phone and stuff. So why does my storage say that shared photo stream is taking up 54.6MB? I would like it to say 0MB. Am I missing something? I've included a couple screenshots to help clarify things. Thanks for your help!

This is what I mean. I'm seeing the 3.9 KB usage for Photo Stream under General>UIsage>Photos and Camera, nothing to do with the storage on iCloud and I have Photo Stream and everything to do with iCloud and photo sharing off. However, I may have had Photo Stream on before for a few weeks before I turned it off long ago. Could that data/used space just be a few photos that were once in Photo Stream before I turned it off if I've had it on before?

Add photos to shared stream

Hi all.
Hope my English be comprehensible :-)
Yesterday evening at home I created a shared photo stream from within iPhoto on my Mac Book Pro (Mountain Lion, iPhoto & Aperture all with last updates).
I added two shots and shared them with one of my collegues adding her Apple ID. This morning she showed me the shared photos on her iPhone, as expected.
Now she can add a comment (this is ok) but she cannot add a photo to that stream: this is not a serious problem, but I wondered if it is possible to grant her some additional permission.
I looked in Apple documentation and found 3 links with different answer to my question.
Look here:
from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5902?viewlocale=en_US
Can my friends and family add photos or videos to a shared stream that I created?
Yes, if you allow it. When editing your photo stream to add or remove subscribers, you can turn on the option to allow subscribers to add to your shared stream. Subscribers can contribute photos and videos to your shared stream if they have an iCloud account and a compatible device with up-to-date software.
But look here:
from http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11957
Note: You can add photos only to photo streams you create. You cannot add photos to shared photo streams you subscribe to.
and here:
from http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11964
Note: You can add photos only to photo streams you create. You cannot add photos to shared photo streams you subscribe to.
May be I'm missing some detail or misunderstand contents.
Now I'm at work, so cannot access my MBP, anyway I do not remember to have seen such an option when adding subscribers ...
How does it really work ?
Many thanks !

Update...
It seems something related to Os version.
A friend of my with iO7 on IPad told me he can add an Apple ID to a shared stream created by himself and let subscribers post on it, while on iPhone with iOS6 is not possible. After upgrade to iOS7 on iPhone the option appeared; anyway, I still cannot post on that stream from my MBP
Waiting for OSX Mavericks to try again...

My Ipad's photo program freezes while trying to add a picture to a shared stream.

I click into the photo click the box with the arrow and once I click "iCloud" nothing happens. I have to force quit the app to regain control. The photo does not add. I tried this with my iphone (both io ios 7) and the phone works fine.

Does iCloud Photo Sharing use my phone's storage space?

When I share a photo stream via iCloud Photo Sharing, does it take up storage space on my iPhone?

Yes.

Shared Stream not showing all shared photos on all devices

So, we have setup a shared stream in Photos to share family moments. The main issue we are experiencing is that on my iPhone I am not able to see contributions from one family member, but on my iPad they show up. Both are iOS 7, and have been through all the troubleshooting steps though have not done the "turn off sharing, and delte all photos" step. Any ideas on why or how that would be happeing? Thanks!

You can apparently force ios6 devices to receive the subscriber contributed photos by turning off shared photo streaming and turning it back on again. It is under General Troubleshooting in the following link:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4379
A similar workaround did not work with iPhoto 11.
To get around this, I've been re-sharing the subscriber contributed content and deleting the original from the stream. They show up, but not a very elegant solution.

How to download 'all photos at a time' from shared stream?

I have a photo stream shared album (with 120 pictures) on icloud. This is shared from iPhone. I opened the link on my mac/windows in the browser. Now, how to download 'all photos at a time' from shared stream? I don't want to download each photo at a time. There are 100s of photos to download. I can't open one photo at a time and keep downloading them separately. There should be a way to download all photos from a shared stream. Please let me know how you are dealing with this?

1.you need create a dba user in your database
2.you can run the script as command
eg. use PL/sql developer ->new command window->open script-> run.

My photo stream is no longer working. Both my icloud settings in my phone under "photos" as well as my pc icloud pictures are all set to "on" and pics are no longer uploading to photostream. What's up?

I experienced this problem recently but was able to solve it by signing out of, then back into Photo Stream on the computer. This will temporarily remove your photos, but once you get signed back in, it will repopulate the photos. Be sure you have updated to the latest version as well.

TS3989 New MacAir but photostream does not work. Message though everything is on. "In order to use Photo Stream, you have to be signed into your iCloud account in System Preferences." And,

New computer but Photostream does not work. I am signed into my account but get the following message: In order to use Photo Stream, you have to be signed into your iCloud account in System Preferences. I go to system preferences and then get a message that says that my account cannot be accessed. However, I am using my icloud account for email and other items and it works fine. Any thoughts?

Are you getting this messages in iPhoto? If so try the following (again?):
Log out of iCloud in the System/iCloud preference pane and disable Photo Stream in iPhoto's Photo Share preference pane. Then log back in and re-enable, respectively. That should jump start Photo Stream.

HT201077 I shared a photo stream of 174 pictures but only 20 are showing up in the folder that was sent out. Any solutions?

I shared a photo stream of 174 pictures but only 20 are showing up in the folder that was sent out. Any solutions?
Help much appreciated!

Upload to the shared Photo Streams can take a long time. Sometimes hours. Did the photos appear by now in the stream?
Is the iCloud status o.k. ( iCloud Support webpage)?
Did you share from your mac or from a mobile device? And where are you checking the stream? On your Mac? If you are uploading from a mobile device - is the battery fully charged? Uploading to the Photo Stream is the first that will be suspended, if the device needs charging.
have ypu exceeded any limits? Daily hourly upload rates? http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4858

Photo Sharing in ios 6 shows all my photo streaming pictures

I decided to test the photo sharing feature in ios 6. I created an album and sent it to myself and was horrified to see that not only could I access the test album, but ALL my photo streamed pictures were available for viewing. I created another album, sent it to a gmail email account I have and had other same issue. Next, I created a third album and send the "public sharing" link to myself: it didn't show the third album but rather the previously created second photo stream album, even though I had already deleted it.
I never had this problem with MobileMe.
ANy suggestions?

I just did the same upgrade with my 3GS. I am having a similar problem. My contacts are on the phone now, but my music and apps are not. When I try to restore the back up this is the message I get: itunes could not restore the iphone because a session could not be started.
I see my my music and apps in my itunes library, but if I try to autofill it to my phone I get this message: itunes cannot add any songs to the iphone because no songs in library can be copied to the iphone.
Can you help?

My Photo Stream not going to my computer -but shared streams do.

I think this started when I updated to the newest version of iCloud panel for windows -version 4.0.2- because I had pictures from less than 2 weeks ago in the stream folder on my computer before I did the update. What I'm seeing is, on my computer (windows 8.1) I have all the photo streams with pictures that have been shared with me, including one I created today to test it out. Nothing is in the 'My Photo Stream" folder. The folder exists, it's just empty.
empty on my computer-
on my phone:
Here is what I have tried-
Signed in and out of iCloud panel on my computer and restarted computer
Turned on and off Photos in the iCloud panel and restarted computer
Turned on and off My Photo Stream in settings and rebooted the phone
Photo Stream has been spotty at best for the last year or more- but was working not that long ago.
I realize that a 'work around' would be to create a shared stream with myself and copy the pictures I want to get to my computer into it. However, I shouldn't have to. It is supposed to work automatically...
I don't see any answers to this anywhere, so if someone can point me in the right direction I'd appreciate it! Thank you!
