How to Download Photos and Share with Friends in iCloud for Windows?

If you have downloaded iCloud for Windows on your computer, then you can download photos and share with friends. When you turn ON 'Photos' in iCloud for Windows, it creates a 'Photos' folder in 'File Explorer' which is called 'iCloud Photos'. My Photo Stream automatically downloads any new photos that you take on your iOS devices. If you save photo from your computer to your 'My Photo Stream', then the photos will automatically appear on your other devices. iCloud Photo Sharing allows you to view, share and comment on the photos and videos that you share with other people.

If you have Windows 8.1 and find your photos, then go to Start Screen and click the down arrow located in the bottom left corner. Click 'iCloud Photos' app. To view your photos on Windows 7, click 'Windows Start' button and click 'Pictures'. Click 'iCloud Photos' or 'Photo Stream' located under the 'Favorite' menu in the panel. Double-click 'My Photo Stream' to view your photos.
