As a free store up to 500,000 photos to iCloud

ICloud cloud storage allocates each user 5GB of free storage space. Not everyone knows that in order to transfer photos using the Photo Stream feature is allocated space is not being used. We'll show you how to use Photo Stream and iCloud storage for free huge number of photos.

The "My Photo Stream" used by many owners of iPhone and iPad. Really convenient for the second sync received photos with other devices. Those who have read about the function "My Photo Stream" on website Apple drew attention to the fact that there are limits "To save space photostream keeps on iPhone, iPad and iPod touch only the latest 1000 photos. They remain in the photostream 30 days, so you have time to remove the excess images or save the most valuable. "

That is to say, 1001, I picture will automatically remove from photostream 1st picture, and after 30 days, remove any old photos. Naturally, the removal of the image happens in the cloud, rather than the device on which the picture was taken or on which it was moved. This causes all users to use the photostream only as a data transmission medium, and iCloud is not involved as a cloud file repository.

However, Apple's Advertising department, talking about other similar functions "Total photostream", Apparently for reasons of" toad strangling "does not specify storage options photos in the" General photostream. " And here it is becoming more interesting.

"Common photostream" 100 allows you to create folders to store 5,000 pictures in each. Thus, 500.000 images attached to one iCloud account without time data deletion. If you have multiple accounts - you can yourself calculate the maximum possible number of photos.

That all happened without "fanaticism", set the following limits on downloads: 1,000 photos per hour, 10,000 photos in day (in principle, such restrictions exist in the function "My photostream", but there is still set to max 25,000 photos in month).

"Common photostream" easily integrates viewing photos with different IOS devices (in Photos), OS X (via iPhoto), Windows PC (via iCloud Control Panel), Apple TV (via iCloud Photos).

The only disadvantage (from paid cloud storage) except that a lack of automatic synchronization of folders, the need to control the number of pictures in a folder and attentive approach to the folder name (you probably should not call the folder "Fishing", if it is stored in its 10 photos).

The function is activated in the following way: "Basic" - "the iCloud" - "Picture" - "Sharing pictures".

In the Photos folder icon appears in the form of a cloud iCloud to create a folder for "General photostream."

As you are such a feature? Come New Year's Day and the holidays, try to take advantage of this opportunity? We are waiting for your comments.
