How to Import Photos from PC to iPad with iCloud

Being an iPad user, you must be familiar with iCloud, a cloud-based storage service made by Apple. You can access your files and documents across your iPod touch, iPhone, iPad, PC, and Mac through iCloud.

However, the PC photos automatically synchronize with iCloud images when you connect your iPad to Wi-Fi. The storage capacity of google photos is unlimited; whereas, iCloud serves only 5GB of free space. Upon needing more space, you have to buy extra storage from Apple.

This means paying to sync your photos! and not to forget that syncing will bring ALL the images, even those you want to delete later!

Here are a few steps that you can follow to transfer photos from iPad to PC through iCloud:

  • Download iCloud on your PC and install it.

  • Run the iCloud software on your system. Now sign in with your Apple ID that you are using on your iPad.

You can also use an email if you want to transfer photos from a PC or laptop to your iPad without using iTunes. However, the drawback of using an email address is that it is not suitable for transferring photos in bulk than mentioned earlier.

Let us talk about the lengthy procedure of transferring photos from iPad to PC. Here are the steps mentioned below.

  1. Make an attachment and add all the photos that you want to copy.

  2. Send that mail to your iPad from your system

  3. Check the sent items from your mail and download the attachments to your iPad

All done! Now, what about the attachment size and bulk photos? We know the shortcoming of email that it is not friendly for bulk transfer, making it a bit hectic.

Please note: We do not encourage you to use this method while there is already a better solution like the iMazing app!

  • Use the drag and drop method and upload the files that you want to transfer.
