Apple iCloud is the best cloud function in smart phones at present. It not only enables automatic system backup of iOS devices (after the backup function is enabled, automatic backup is performed when the device is connected to the power supply and the WIFI environment), but also has a very convenient photo streaming function, which allows you to share photos among multiple platforms and devices, and can also easily share photos with friends.Now let's take a look at how to use the photo streaming function in many different devices.
Introduction to photo streaming function
First of all, to use the photo streaming function, you must have an Apple ID, and basically all iPhone users will register one.In addition, photo streaming is part of iCloud function, so it is preferred to enable this function in iCloud option.It should be reminded that "My Photostream" can store 1000 more photos in the last 30 days, and its capacity has nothing to do with the iCloud space you purchased. That is, whether you are a free 5GB user or an additional cloud space purchase, when the photo stream is full of 1000 photos, you can only get new photos by deleting the previous content.
In addition to storing photos taken by this account, the photo stream can also be shared with friends through the "Share Photo Stream" function, which can be supported by different versions of the client.When sharing a photo stream, you need to first create a category to add names, contacts, and photos to it. You can also choose whether to share to the public network. If you choose Yes, these photos will produce a link, and anyone can view photos through a web browser, just like an online album.Each shared photo stream album can add hundreds of photos, and it also supports the comment function.
Mac system
In the Mac system, the iCloud function has been integrated, so you can find the relevant directory in the system preferences. After you open the login, open the photo streaming function.If you want to view a photo stream, you need to use the iPhoto app.
ICloud Control Panel
In the iPhoto application, enter the preferences menu to see the photo streaming project. You can select the automatic import and upload functions, so that the photos in the Mac will also appear on your iPhone or iPad.At this point, when you return to the iPhoto application interface, you can see the photo stream column, which can be arranged according to the rules of events, places, etc., and you can easily add photo stream sharing content.In addition, the image of the photo stream in iPhoto will maintain its original resolution, while on iOS devices it will be appropriately reduced.

IOS devices
The photo streaming function on iOS is also easy to find. You can find it in Settings iCloud Photo Item. Open the "My Photo Stream" and "Photo Sharing" functions.Of course, you also need to log in to Apple ID on your iOS device before you can use it.After you open it, the photos taken by your iPhone and iPad will appear in the "My Photostream" project. Mac and Windows computers logged in to the same Apple ID can also receive the content of the photo stream, without the need for tedious transmission.
Windows system
To use the photo streaming function on a Windows computer, you need to first download and install the iCloud control panel software for Windows.After installation, log in to Apple ID, and the operation is basically the same as that of the Mac version.However, because there is no iPhoto software on Windows, a system folder of "Photo Stream" will be generated, which can be seen in the root directory of the Explorer.Once the iOS device or Mac has new photo streaming content, this folder will be automatically updated (in a networked environment), which is also very convenient.

In addition, the iCloud control panel also provides the right click sharing function of "Add to Photo Stream" for the Windows system. Just right click the picture file to see it. However, it is not to add the file to "My Photo Stream", but to create a shared album.The pictures in the "My Photostream" folder support copying and deleting, but adding pictures to the album does not seem to synchronize to other terminals.
