[QUOTE="Rod, post: 1746958, member: 204485"] This really boils down to the definition of "Syncing" which is to make all the same. What our OP wants is "Storage" and that is completely different. iCloud offers both. But not via syncing. Select a photo or video in the iPad and tap share, in the bottom line of the sharing options scroll to the left, you will see "Add to iCloud Drive". This will permanently store the item independant of the online sharing options of My Photo Stream iCloud Photo sharing and the iPhoto Library. You can create a folder in iCloud Drive to put them in (You will need to do this on your laptop). Login to iCloud, open iCloud Drive, create a new folder for photos. Now you can "share" the contents of your camera roll to a photo folder in iCloud drive and safely delete them from your iPad. This method works for Videos too. This brings me to something I just noticed last week. Apple is now offering 50Gb of iCloud storage for $0.99/month. Oops, sorry, thats $1.49 Australian. This is probably big enough for my entire photo library. [/QUOTE]
