HT201317 How do I move photos from iPhone to iCloud to free up space on iPhone?

My wife has a ton of photos on her phone which is preventing her from updating some apps and other things because her phone is out of storage space.  How can she move it to her iCloud account so she can delete it from her phone?  She still wants to easily access the photos from her iPhone.

You do not store photos on icloud for archiving.  You do this by syncing photos onto a computer.  icloud will store backups of camera roll photos, but that's only good to you if your device somehow "dies" and you must restore everything back on it.  You can't selectively restore just photos from icloud.

    How do I move photos from pc to icloud?

    Set up iCloud on your PC and enable photo stream as explained here: https://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/pc.html, then upload the photos to photo stream as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2606.
    If this doesn't work, you can always sync them to your phone by selecting the photos on the Photos tab of your iTunes sync settings and syncing.

    How do I move photos from camera roll to photo stream

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Photostream only adds photos taken after photostream activation, it doesn't do video at all.
    To transfer photos from your camera roll taken before activation to your Mac, connect the device by USB and import your photos and videos through iPhoto.

  • HT201317 How do I move photos from iPhoto to the iCloud?

    I just want to get some pictures off of my laptop and I want to ensure that they are in a safe space.  iCloud is different than Photo Stream right?  Is there a way to just store the photos in iCloud?  I don't want to lose the photos in 30 days, if I put them in Photo Stream.
    Thank you!

    iCloud can not do what you want.
    Try a service like DropBox
    You can get 2GB of free storage with the option to purchase more. Your photos will be stored in the cloud and will be available to your internet connected devices.

    You cannot drag pics from computer to iphone.  This has never been a feature of iphone.
    You sync them as you would anything esle.
    You select photos from the photos tab.  Whatever is selected will be on your iphone.  Anything not selected will not be. Make sure that everything you want on your iphone is selected, then sync.

    Once they are in DropBox you can open them in the DropBox app and then save them to your camera roll.
    You can't just drag and drop files to your phone.  This is part of the way that Apple protects content and and keeps people from sharing videos, songs, etc.
    You could also read the manual, or the tip that I posted, that tells you how to do what you say can't be done...

    How do I move photos from my Iphone to my PC to free up storage space?

    You can connect your iPhone to your computer and your computer will see your iPhone as though it was a digital camera.  You'll be given options to transfer pictures just as you would a digital camera.  I'd create a folder in advance and maybe call it iPhone Pictures.  Transfer the pictures, then you can delete them from you iPhone.  You can always redownload them to your iPhone via iTunes sync.
