Icloud as storage for photos

I wish to see my photos on the icloud and use it as the storage. How can i do this

iCloud is not designed to do this, apart from having a very basic photo gallery in 'Photo Journal'.
'PhotoStream' is purely a conduit for shunting pictures taken on one device onto all the others signed into the same account: the photos are not visible on the iCloud website.
Shared PhotoStreams (iOS6 only) enable you to shunt selected photos onto other people's accounts, or you can display them on a website:

iCloud provides a simple gallery in the form of 'Photo Journal' - uploading of photos from iPhoto to web pages hosted on iCloud, but only from iOS devices; and the photos are compressed to a size adequate for online viewing but are not available in full resolution as with the old MobileMe Gallery. Apple have provided a sample album here.
If you want something a bit more sophisticated you will have to find a third-party solution - this page examines some options:

  • HT4847 Question re: storage for photos

    I bought storage for photos, and yet I keep getting the notice that there is not enough available storage to take a photo. Yet, I only have taken ten photos and my settings tell me that of 15.0 GB in iCloud, I have 14.9 available. What can I do?

    Keep ALL the media on one drive and TM on it's own drive. NEVER NEVER NEVER mix a backup drive with any storage. The reason being is if/when that drive crashes you will have lost all the data and backup! For the media drive you may need a high speed drive and bus. The only reason I can think of for a high speed drive would be if you put photos on it and do lots of editing on them in something like Aperture, Photoshop etc...If that does describe your needs get a 7200RPM drive AND use the fastest bus your computer has. This will probably be Firewire or Firewire 800 depending on what iMac you own. If this does not describe your needs as long you keep the media (movies, photos & music) on one drive and the TM on a separate drive you're good to go.

  • Purchased extra storage for photos

    Hi, i have purchased an extra 200gb of storage for photos (newbie to mac here) , can anyone tell me if my photos are saved to iCloud do they stay there until i delete them or do they delete after so many days ?  I bought the 200gb as somewhere to save my photos to so i could access them from any device, but I'm reading they delete after 30 days, is that correct ?
    Thanks

  • When you back up your Iphone/Ipad it backs up for camera roll. but when you take pictures and it uses photo stream, does that mean there are two copy's of your photos on icloud one set for photo stream and one set for backups?

    When you back up your Iphone/Ipad it backs up your camera roll. but when you take pictures and it uses photo stream, does that mean there are two copy's of your photos on icloud one set for photo stream and one set for backups?

    What do you mean by storage quota, does that mean i could be photo streaming about 1gb of photos and it does not get taken away from my free 5bg.

  • HT1338 What is the best online storage for photos. Specifically one that allows the original image quality to be downloaded should your hard storage goes belly up

    What is the best online storage for photos. Specifically one that allows the original image quality to be downloaded should your hard storage goes belly up

    I'd put them on an external hard drive(s) and burn them to a DVD as well (at least 2 - 3 copies on different drives/media); I prefer having control and a local solution instead of relying on a server and the possibility of someone (who shouldn't be)  downloading my work.

  • HT4847 my iphone storage is full and I do not have enough storage for upgrades or to take photos/videos, etc. My icloud is on for photos/videos. Can I safely delete them on my phone to make storage room knowing I can access them on my icloud?

    My iphone storage is full and I do not have enough storage for upgrades or to take more photos/videos, download apps, etc. I do have my photos/videos ON for icloud sync but not sure if I can safely delete them from my iphone to make room. And if I can delete them from my phone how do I access them on my icloud? I logged in for the first time and do not see where to access photos/videos?

    You can't just store photos on icloud.  They can be included as part of a backup or when using photo stream to sync photos from one device to another, but 1) photo stream keeps photos for up to 30 days after which they are deleted from the servers, and 2) never rely on a backup to icloud as a way of storing photos.  (When photos are deleted from the device, they are no longer on recent backups, and older backups get deleted in short time.)
    When it comes to photos, users should sync them to a computer for archiving.  Then they can delete the photos from the device, as the computer will have copies.
    Photos in backups on icloud cannot be viewed on icloud.

  • Storage for photos doesn't work

    Photo storage kept telling me I was out of memory on my phone so I purchased more. The phone will barely let me store 60 photos even after I purchased the extra. Storage.
    Thanks

    You can't buy extra storage for you phone.  If you purchased extra iCloud storage that will not increase the capacity of your phone.  To create more free space on your phone you'll have to delete something on it now.

  • I purchased iCloud extra storage for music, received an email stating my 5 gig storage is nearly full. How can I get to the 25,000 song storage I purchased separately?

    How can I connect my iCloud free 5 gig storage to the $25.00 additional storage I purchased from Apple for 25,000 songs?  I received messages stating I have used nearly all of my free storage.  Are they dfferent storages?  I only have one apple id.

    Are you sure you didn't buy iTunes Match and not additional storage? I ask because of the 25,000 songs is a specific detail. Try this link and see if it rings any bells (http://www.apple.com/ca/itunes/itunes-match/) I have Match and I love it but one thing it doesn't do is give you more general storage, just access to all your music. If you only wanted the storage for music you will be fine with Match, if you are still needing storage may want to go through your device settings and turn off some apps from your back up to gain more space (Settings>iCloud>Storage and Backup>Manage Storage). Failing that, you may want to contact Apple and let them know you wanted the Storage bump, not iTunes Match.
    Hope this helps.

  • Need extra storage for photos for my ipad ...

    I need extra storage for my ipad to store photos on ... I have so far been looking at the Airport Time Capsule & Seagate Wireless Plus.
    Can anyone recommend any? Thanks

    If you need to offload photos as you have too many, the best way is to plug the iPad into you computer running Mac OSX and dump them into iphoto.
    If you want to use something by wireless, without a computer then any network connected hard disk will work much the same. You cannot use file storage directly anyway.. you need to load a file app to start with.
    I think use whichever works out the cheaper for you.
    Do note the TC is really not designed to do this job and if you already use the TC for Time Machine it is messy loading files onto it. This is apparently a new purchase so you are not using the TC at all..
    The TC lacks a method to back itself up.. And this is one of its great weaknesses.. if the TC fails.. and they all fail at some point. How are you going to recover those photos?? From iPad you will not have the tools needed to do backups of the TC to another location.
    I have no idea if the seagate has built in proper backup but I would find out.

  • HT4759 Why is the additional ICloud 10GB storage for my Ipad I purchased not working?

    Why is the additional ICloud 10GB storage I purchased not downloading on my IPAD?

    What do you mean by 'downloading'? - does it show in Settings>iCloud? It's additional space on the iCloud server, not additional memory on your iPad.

  • Can a family member use my iCloud storage for photos?

    Hope I'm not being obtuse, but the answer to this isn't clear to me from the various "help" menus.
    The situation is complicated by my living 50 miles from my elderly father.
    I need about 50 GB for my photos, but have to pay for 200, of course.
    So, is there a way for my Dad, who is a member of my iCloud/App/Whatever family to move HIS photo library from HIS computer to MY iCloud account without having to purchase more iCloud space for his personal account? (His photo library also - barely - exceeds the limit of the next increment of storage available so that i'll have to buy him 200GB if there isn't a way to share the storage from my iC account.
    Hope this question is understandable - I don't know how else to frame it.
    Thank you for all responses.

    Duh! Nevermind. I think I definitely WAS being obtuse about how to share photos.

  • Can I use icloud as a storage for photos from my PC without pushing all of them to my iphone?

    I thought the cloud could be a backup to my PC (files, pics, itunes...) that I could access from my iphone.  If my pics are pushed to my phone, my memory will be more than maxed out.  Same with itunes.  I would like to switch the tunes on my phone sometimes. 
    Am I expecting too much from my cloud!?

    No.
    iCloud isn't like our old iDisk. It's more about connecting muliple devices to the same shared data.

  • Not enough icloud backup storage for iphone 5 64GB

    It would seem that someone has dropped the ball with regards to icloud backup for iphone 5 64GB. icloud only offers 55 GB of storage. My complaint is obviously redundant!

    Hi Buddhathoughts,
    The reason that Apple only goes up to that much storage is that some of the items on your device don't count against the icloud storage. Here is a quote from Apple's icloud description. " And that’s plenty of room, because of the way iCloud stores your content. Your purchased music, movies, apps, books, and TV shows — as well as your Photo Stream — don’t count against your free storage. That 5GB goes a long way for your mail, documents, account information, settings, and other app data."
    So if you have purchased 10GB of Tv shows, that 10GB will not count against your icloud storage. Also, with photos and videos. The photos and videos in your camera roll will count against your storage. But the photos(videos are not in the photo stream) in your photo stream will not count against your storage.
    I hope that answered your question.

  • My Mac is showing a very high amount of used storage for photos

    Hi guys,
    I'm starting to run low on disc space and decided to see how much of my hard drive is being used for what by using "About This Mac". My Macbook Pro is showing that I have used 164.62GB on photos. I've checked and my iPhoto library (which stores all my personal pictures) is only 68.66GB. I get that there will obviously be more spaced used on my HDD for pictures other than my iPhoto but I really can't see how that totals nearly 100GB. Is there likely to be an old iPhoto library file lurking in a folder somewhere?
    I'm pretty sure I'm also not using as much space for movies as well but this is nearly no where as much of a concern.
    Any help on what could be causing this would be very much appreciated.
    Thanks
    MegaBeaker

    About this Mac is a very crude measure of anything. That will include just about every image, icon, UI element on your Mac. It's so vague as to be meaningless.
