Are my Photos and Videos Stored in iCloud Drive?

Last Updated :

No. Your photos and videos are not stored in iCloud Drive. Apple has introduced a new feature called "iCloud Photo Library" in iOS 8.3 and later. This "iCloud Photo Library" allows you to store all your photos and videos into the iCloud. Once you have stored photos in iCloud, you can access them from anywhere on any device with an internet connection. It works seamlessly with the new "Photos" app to keep your photos and videos in iCloud and up to date on your iOS device such as iPhone, iPad, Mac, and iCloud.com. You can also access your entire photo library from the Photos app on iCloud.com.

PicBackMan does exactly what it's supposed to. It's quick and efficient. It runs unobtrusively in the background and has done an excellent job of uploading more than 300GB of photos to 2 different services. After having lost a lot of personal memories to a hard drive crash, it's nice to know that my photos are safe in 2 different places.

LOVE this program! Works better than ANY other program out there that I have found to upload thousands of pictures WITH SUB-FOLDERS to SmugMug! Thank you so much for what you do! :) #happycustomer

I pointed PicBackMan at a directory structure, and next time I looked - all the photos had uploaded! Pretty cool. I use SmugMug and while I really like it, the process of creating directories in is pretty laborious when you need to make 80+ at a time. This was a breeze. Thank you!
