Hi all,
So I have iPhone 16 pro and use iCloud for photos and videos etc for backup. I have iCloud 2tb storage which I have arranged to cancel.
I have 1.34tb of storage used on iCloud. What is best way to transfer videos and photos from iCloud on my iPhone to this device I have ordered:
I don’t have a computer so will only be using these two devices. I also wish to stop using iCloud for photo and video backup etc. So I guess once I transferred all my data I need to this device then I can switch iCloud sync off for photos right?
Also then I get two options if I put sync off I get option remove from iPhone or download photos and videos. I guess I will be selecting remove from iPhone? Any help in advance appreciated. Also this device I ordered is this a right device for what I am looking at doing?
