Broath Boy Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 We have 4 Apple devices in household all connected to iCloud. When they are all fully backed up to iCloud does that mean we can delete all pics on the 4 Apple devices to allow more space to take more pics but still have previous pics in iCloud. Thanks PS I hate iCloud and these Apple devices will be last but will have to wait till contract is out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shotts56 Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 If you've subscribed to iCloud Photo Library, then they should be held in the cloud and not take up any space on your device. Don't delete them though, as that will delete the original from the cloud and the link to it from your device. If you've not subscribed to iCloud Photo Library, then the back up is just a back up of your phone at a snapshot in time. You would have to restore the phone completely to get the phone back to that snapshot in time. So that's no good to you either. IMO your best bet is to download the Dropbox or Google Drive app - they have options where they can automatically upload any photos taken to them, and then you can safely delete the photos from your Apple devices. You will be able to view the photos online using the Dropbox or Google Drive apps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
