I have a 256G drive on my iPhone and iPad running the latest version of iOS 11. I have plenty of drive space. I have both set to download and keep original photos and videos on the drives (not optimized option) but neither of them seem to be doing it.

I can view everything from the iCloud backup but just about anytime I tap on a thumbnail it has to download the photo or video. This is especially frustrating when editing videos. Even when I just finished editing a video in iMovie when I go to save it, it first says it needs to download the videos I just edited.

Any ideas?
