Photos do not upload to/or download from iCloud.I’ve recently encountered an issue with new photos that needed to be showing up the photos on my iPhone. Also, images taken on this iPad could not be uploaded to iCloud. Most frustrating is that the Photos app I use on my iPad could not show any error message. My initial reaction was to unplug the device, hoping it would solve the issue. It didn’t.
Ultimately, I found the issue via Settings and Photos & Camera, where a tiny error message read High Disk Space – Uploading 8 photos. I would like to know if my mom would ever go to the Settings app if she knew the issue was in her iCloud pictures. This issue is one Apple could make more clear when it releases a software update shortly.
How to fix “Low Disk Space – Uploading Photos” on iPhone or iPad
When I figured out my issue was likely due to inadequate storage capacity, I was only required to increase the space for my iPad. According to the error message,the iPad has to be able to download photos that were captured by my iPhone and then uploaded to iCloud. It requires storage space for uploading photos taken with the iPad, most likely to cache for caching purposes.
The most confusing thing isn’t as much about the error message itself, nor how deep into the Settings application it’s. The most confusing thing is that, with around 300MB of free space, I had enough space on my device to upload any images I had taken on my iPad. Due to that, I only immediately considered getting more storage space. My head was evident that 300MB would suffice to upload eight photos and download four or five.
There are numerous ways to make room in your iPhone and iPad. For instance, you can delete Twitter’s media or web storage, erase photos or videos, delete the recently Deleted photographs folder, clean Safari’s Offline Reading List cache, improve the storage of downloaded music and remove books that are not needed, and even remove apps.
The deletion of apps was what I did as it’s the most minimal method of gaining space. I chose to erase GarageBand, the app I don’t use often but consumes over one gigabyte of storage.
