    iPhone not saving full resolution images to iCloud

    My wife and I both purchased iPhone XRs around the time our 3-year old was born so that we would have many family photos to look back upon. Every month, we would download the photos from iCloud to our local NAS drive to backup the data. We would then delete the photos from iCloud. Today, more...

    Considering moving back to Apple Photos and using NAS as a backup

    Years ago I used iPhoto for my images and really liked it. Then Apple ditched it in favour of the Photos app. I hated it and so moved away from it opting to use my Synology NAS to store all my images. It has software called Moments that works a bit like Photos and allows me to use my NAS as a...

    iCloud iCloud with custom domain

    Does anyone have any news on how custom domains will work with iCloud? Any clues yet? I’d like to put my whole family under my domain with iCloud, but I hope it doesn’t have to be done under Family Sharing because some of my relatives use Android.

    iPad Pro - how to delete files to free storage

    So, I worked some files on LumaFusion, and added them on iCloud storage. Those files remain on my iPad as well, without the option like OneDrive to unload them locally. I thought when adding more files would remove some others to make space, just like Photos. This doesn't happens, and I am...

    Best way to mass upload photos to icloud?
