Where to find backup photos from iphone

So get backing up your images now, and then you can enjoy getting on with shooting more great iPhone photos, safe in the knowledge that your older pictures are securely stored on your computer or in the cloud. Thanks for setting out these options so clearly Rob. It is cloud. You can set three different privacy settings on your pictures. Private so only you can see them. Only your friends can see them. No restrictions so anyone can see them.

Drew, very good point. I know a few people that use Flickr as a backup option. Thanks for pointing that out! Thank you Rob for the clear outline on options. Has anyone used the San Disc wireless thumb drive? Does cloud storage I have never used a cloud based option really eliminate the need for backing up to a hard drive?

Hi Tracy, I actually bought my wife a wireless thumb drive SanDisk for Xmas, but we have not thoroughly tested it yet. If you need access to an archived photo and your internet access is out for an extended period of time rare these days, but it does happen , then having a local backup option suddenly becomes critical.

It also became difficult to upload my files from my iphones. I am still confused though. I have connected my iPhone 6s to my Macbook, I see my photos there. But when i delete a photo from my iPhone, it ceases to exist on my iPhoto. I also have an iCloud storage subscription but if I delete my photo from the phone, it also deletes from the iCloud storage right?

How do I then manually back up my photos on to a separate hard disk aside from the iCloud so that I can start clearing up space on my phone? I have odd photos three kids, lots of photos as a result on my iPhone 6s that I dun dare to delete because I am worried that when I delete them, they get deleted from icloud and all my devices so that I dun have a copy of them. Not sure if I am making sense here?

Okay great. In the dialog box that appears, change any options you wish, then click Export. In the next box select the folder or drive where you want the images to go, then click Export.

Your exported images will now be saved to that folder or drive. Hope that all makes sense! Hi Kate — what if i have both — i did not realise when i changed laptops and upgraded OS over the years that i lost IPhoto and gained Photos. Apparently the iPhotos library is different from the Photos Library.

How do i merge these two then back them up? Family Album. Tap Confirm. How to back up your pictures with Amazon Photos Another cloud service you can use to back up your photos is Amazon Photos.
