[QUOTE="badshoehabit, post: 1772638, member: 210116"] You don't need to use iCloud if you want the laptop to be your main storage. I use Photostream which syncs to all my devices and Photos on my MBP becomes the master library. You can then file or delete independently as you wish on either device. Suggest you have another means of backing up your images - eg an external hard drive - if you are not using iCloud. In System Preferences on your MB, and Settings on your phone: iCloud > enable Photostream; switch off iCloud library and iCloud photosharing (unless you want the latter) [ATTACH=FULL]27211[/ATTACH] [url]https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT201317[/url] [/QUOTE]
