Starting with iOS 7, company Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), made some important changes regarding iCloudThe, Photo StreamCPC and Photo Sharing- now having new limits regarding the possibility to store photos or to share photos and videos between iDevices. We start with My Photo Stream-ul, the service of those from Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), allowing until recently the possibility to store up to 10.000 photos monthly in iCloud, but recently a modification this number increased by 150%, so that monthly 25.000 photos can be stored in iCloud (1000 per hour and 10.000 per day). The new limits are imposed by the Apple company on the basis of upload patterns obtained by Apple after analyzing the data recorded by its users.
The My Photo Stream limits below are established based on anticipated upload patterns. Currently, My Photo Stream upload limits are as follows:
- Uploads to My Photo Stream per hour: 1000 photos
- Uploads to My Photo Stream per day: 10,000 photos
- Uploads to My Photo Stream per month: 25,000 photos
If you exceed one of these limits, your uploads to My Photo Stream will be temporarily paused and you may see a notification message on your device. Your uploads will resume automatically after you no longer exceed one of the limits, such as in the following hour or on the following day.
If iCloud Photo Sharing, the Apple company modified the limits so that now 1000 photo and video clips can be shared every hour, 10.000 being the limit for each day. Everything you enter in this system can be accessed by any other iCloud users as long as you provide them with the links to access the information. The limits imposed by the Apple company are more than reasonable for anyone, the number of people who upload more than 25.000 photos to iCloud being extremely small.
The current iCloud Photo Sharing hourly and daily limits are as follows:
- Maximum combined number of photos and videos to share per hour: 1000
- Maximum combined number of photos and videos to share per day: 10,000
These sharing limits are separate from the upload limits above. For example, in the same day you could upload 10,000 photos to My Photo Stream and then share those 10,000 photos or 10,000 other photos.
