My Photo Stream is totally automatic, but if you have a Mac, you can choose to turn o
automatic uploading when you set up My Photo Stream in iPhoto or Aperture. This can be
useful if you regularly import very large numbers of photos.
The photos you upload to My Photo Stream are stored in iCloud for 30 days to give your devices
plenty of time to connect and download them. Your iOS devices keep a rolling collection of
your last 1000 photos in the My Photo Stream album. To keep these photos on your iOS device
permanently, you can save them to your device’s Camera Roll or to another album. Because your
Mac and PC have more storage than your iOS devices, you can choose to have all of your My
Photo Stream photos automatically downloaded to your computer.
Note: My Photo Stream is compatible with TIFF les up to 100 MB, JPEG les up to 50 MB, RAW
les (in supported formats) up to 100 MB, and PNG les up to 50 MB.
