How does My Photo Stream Work with iCloud Photo Library?

Last Updated :

My Photo Stream stores your most recent 1000 photos or the last 30 days of photos, whichever is greater. My Photo Stream uploads your most recent photos so you can view and import them to all of your devices. My Photo Stream does not use your iCloud storage space. iCloud Photo Library uploads all of your photos and videos to iCloud and keeps them across all your devices automatically. If you turn ON iCloud Photo Library on your device and any photos you add to My Photo Stream from other devices, they will apprear in the "All Photos" tab located in the "Photos" app. The photos in "Photos" app are organized in Moments, Collections and Years.

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!
