If you enable iCloud Photo Library on iPhone and iPad, you can save gigabytes of space on your device. With iCloud Photo Library you can save the storage optimized copies of your photos & videos that saves a lot of space on your iPhone or iPad.

Here's how to enable iCloud Photo Library on iPhone and iPad

  1. Launch the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad running iOS 8.1 or higher.
  2. Tap on iCloud.
  3. Tap on Photos.
  4. Turn On the option for iCloud Photo Library at the top.
You will be prompted if you have photos synced from iTunes that they'll be removed. Just confirm in order for iCloud Photo Library to continue. Just be aware that all the photos synced from your computer will be removed.

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!
