# i have no idea what youre talking about
# if you need more icloud storage, buy some from apple or delete some stuff from your phone
# im not clicking any link you post, frankly you look like spam
# why do you keep typing with stupid #'s and just cant format your post like everyone else here can like normal

Appreciate you talking time to answer

I am NOT a spam or troll or anything like that. I am a genuine user. You can see I have posted earlier on cloud storage

I did NOT plan to post a link / URL ... the address got converted to a link

This time I managed typing without " ___ " that sign that inconvenienced you !

I am looking at cheaper alternatives to apple ... hope you don't find that irritating


TIA

You may look into restoring your phone. That sometimes flushes some of the old junk out and will recover some space.

thanks a ton. I am trying ...

Here's a more detailed post on this issue , IF you have the time
=====================================================

I have some 20 .. 25 minutes of video on my iPhone that is now showing approx 3 GB...; I am unable to delete these as these are quite important ; I can't figure out IF this is a quirk or what ?

I need to take more videos !! meaning the size will grow; As of I now I've switched *off* synching of videos to iCloud but that is not the intention , that is just what happened

Alternate question : Are there any sites where I can upload the videos without loss of quality ...at least without major loss of quality... then I can delete these videos from iPhone





TIA

with all the foreign looking spam posted all over internet forums, i couldnt take the post seriously. proper posting goes a long way. abnormal ways of posting, like horrid grammar, typing in all caps and strange looking links, scream troll/forum spam. if you want answers on a forum, at least take the time to explain yourself in a normal, common manner as 99% other posters do.

I think I did all of the above ....including being "foreign" !

if his post was worded normal, without the hashtags leading each line, i would have taken it more seriously.

the hastags !! d@m... the hastags ... I have been using them off and on and no one got offended ....till.... !

with that being said, i dont think there are any other kind of cloud services that can be used in place of apples icloud, that could make use of the phones icloud abilities.

I am *not* looking for any special abilities. I am happy with even a full backup without selection as long as the prices are reasonable ... ok I admit cheaper than iCloud !

external storage....sure. photobucket, google drive and dropbox.

Trying Dropbox. But *I* feel that is still costly and a lot of drag and drop ...and...

but i doubt, maybe unless its jailbroken, that

My phone is *not* jailbroken. Mine *is* using legal apple op. system etc

Dropbox works great, I have over 30 GB of free storage. There's also Google Drive and Box.net.

GREAT ... a reply I like

How did you manage the 30GB of free storage ? that's the key ! I'm at somewhere near 0.5 GB !


TIA
