How to Transfer Photos from Windows PC to iPhone (iOS 7 and earlier)?

Last Updated :

There are several ways to transfer photos from computer to iPhone. If you have windows PC and iPhone with iOS 7 and earlier version, then you can use "iCloud Control Panel" and the "Uploads" folder within the Photo Stream folder. You need to install and configure iCloud Control Panel for Windows PC. Once you copied photos into Photo Stream, they may not be easy to find, because it is ordered by date on which the photos were taken.

Here are the steps to Transfer Photos from Windows PC to iPhone (iOS 7 and earlier):

  1. Start your Windows PC.
  2. Go to https://www.icloud.com/ & sign in to your account.
  3. Go to http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1455 and download the "iCloud Control Panel" software from Apple.
  4. Install "iCloud Control Panel" software on your Windows PC and launch it.
  5. Restart your Windows PC.
  6. Make sure "iCloud for Windows" is open. If it doesn't open automatically, go to "Start", open "Apps or Programs", and open "iCloud for Windows".
  7. Enter your Apple ID to sign in to iCloud.
  8. Check the box next to each iCloud feature you want to enable.
  9. Click "Apply" button.
  10. Once you set up iCloud Control Panel on your Windows PC, open an "Explorer" window and navigate to the folder in which the photos you stored.
  11. Select the photos which you want to transfer, right-click on them and select "Copy" option.
  12. Navigate to the "Picture' folder and find "Photo Stream" folder. The Photo Stream folder is created when you install the iCloud Control Panel.

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!
