iCloud Drive Photos

[Labhras]

Hi all,
I'm currently debating on whether use or not iCloud Photo Library.
What I wanted to confirm was something: with files on iCloud Drive, be them pages, pics or what, I see a loading MB/tot MB before the file appears. I wanted to be sure no space was being taken on the device, since I was debating using iCloud drive to store some pics and I wanted to avoid taking space on the iPhone.
Thanks

It's been a while since I used iCloud for photo storage - I stopped when I discovered that my pics were being downsampled from full resolution when transferred to iCloud Photos. I use only a direct/wired connection or AirDrop to my Macs. My 2¢.
