Guest /u/rattice Posted December 29, 2024 Posted December 29, 2024 Hi guys. I stopped using iCloud pretty much instantly when I first started using iPhones years ago. I found it confusing trying to back up media to hard drives and delete from phone to free up space and they would reappear or duplicates from iCloud etc. All I am looking for is a simple backup storage for photos/videos. I don't need them downloaded to other devices or sync'd to other devices. Just upload photos/videos and if I delete something from my phone, then delete from cloud too. What options are enabled/disabled (iPhone 13) to accomplish this and what steps should be done when I am saving to laptop? I just did a photo dump from my old phone and simply connected my phone, and Apple iPhone appears as a device and go into the DCIM folder and individual folders and copy to laptop. Then after they are copied, I go back to the iPhone folder and delete while still connected to laptop. I appreciate any help and tips. Thanks in advance. submitted by /u/rattice [link] [comments]
