Transfer multiple photos to iPhone without Mac?

[johannnn]

- I saved a bunch (hundreds) of photos from my mums dying iPhone.
- She now has a new iPhone, but without the old photos (she didn't have iCloud turned on at all).
- She (or me) doesn't have a Mac, just a Chromebook.

How do I best get the old photos to her Photos.app? Without her having to save hundreds of photos manually.

Can you install PhotoSync from the Play Store on the Chromebook?

You'l have to pay for each copy (iOS and Android), and you'll have to babysit each device (don't let them lock or go to sleep), but it does work. I've personally used it for similar purposes.

* From the Chromebook, upload photos to something like Dropbox, Google Photos or even Flickr.
* From the new iPhone, download that app
* Sign into the app and you should be able to save the photos to local storage/camera roll. There should also be an option to mass select though you might still have to do this in batches.
* Turn on iCloud on the new iPhone so that it will back it up!

Pro Tip - since you guys use a Chromebook, Google services is probably easiest for you. The iPhone Google Photos/Google Drive app can automatically backup your iPhone camera roll photos too so that you can view them on the computer and phone.
