iCloud Photo Library Lets You Sync, Save Across Multiple Devices
iCloud Photo Library is part photo management system, part syncing system, and part off-site back up. Photos stored on your iPhone and iPad, as well as in the photos library on your computer and those uploaded to Aperture, are automatically sent to Apple’s servers, backed up online, and synced across your devices. If you want to show a friend pictures from a family vacation a few years ago that are on your computer, for example, you can quickly pull them up on your iPhone or iPad by using iCloud Photo Library.
While having all of your pictures and videos files in one place is convenient, sorting through hundreds or even thousands of media files can be overwhelming. Using the Year, Collection, and Moments categories on your mobile devices and your computer can help you organize and sort to find specific shots. And when you want to make just a few select photos easily accessible, all you have to do is tap the Favorite button to send it to a separate folder.
iCloud Photo Library can help save space by creating an offsite back up of your pictures, but this convenience and security comes at a cost. All Apple users automatically get 5GB of iCloud storage for free; however, this probably won’t be enough to back up all of your files. iCloud storage upgrade plans start at $0.99 a month for 20GB.
To get started using iCloud Photo Library simply sign into iCloud using your Apple ID on all of your devices and turn the feature on. iCloud will do the rest. For more information on iCloud Photo Library and for all of your Apple needs, contact us at support@cranstonit.com.
