Re: Apple I Phone and Windows PC

That's my combo since 2010...no problems at all.  Everything works with my WiFi.

apps and music you purchased from itunes aren't costing you storage space. Neither are physically stored in your personal icloud account in the cloud, just the information that you own it is. You can download them from apples servers where they are hosted. I've got over 80GB of video and over 60 GB of music in my itunes library and they are all instantly accessable to download to my phone. And no my icloud account isn't physically storing them all. I don't even have 5 gigs in my icloud storage. 

 

You don't have to use the cloud to store photos if you don't want to. You can transfer them over wifi, using the messages app or email or directly upload them to a photo storage website. 

 

BTW, it's 99 cents a month for 50 GB of icloud storage if you need it. Hardly expensive. 


I have more than 300 GB of photos and videos I've taken over the years.  I've taken more than 50 GB of photos this year alone.  Storing in Apple's cloud does get expensive for me.

I use Dropbox (I pay a yearly fee for TONS of storage) and just started using Google photos (free and tons of storage and love it) GOOGLE drive should coordinate it ALL ... I'm thinking GOOGLE will out-perform them all.

 

This system should make Android and iPhone easily compatible.
