How to Transfer Photos from iPhone to IDrive – 2 Ways

There are 2 ways to copy iPhone photos to IDrive. You can choose one to use according to whether you synced iPhone photos to iCloud before.

Way 1. Transfer Photos from iCloud to IDrive via MultCloud

If you synced your iPhone photos to iCloud, you can easily transfer your photos to IDrive via MultCloud. MultCloud is a professional cloud file transfer service on which you can transfer files between several cloud storage services, such as iCloud Photos, IDrive e2, Google Photos, Flickr, Dropbox, OneDrive, and so on. With MultCloud Cloud Transfer, you can create an automatic transfer task to move photos from iCloud Photos to IDrive e2 without manual downloading or uploading.

Besides, if you used to use iCloud to save iPhone photos but now decide to use IDrive e2 instead, Cloud Transfer can also delete all the files in iCloud after all the photos are transferred to IDrive e2. By doing so, you can avoid the risk of losing photos after stopping using iCloud and skip the troublesome deleting task.

Step 1. Enter MultCloud and sign up for a free account.

Step 2. Click “Add Cloud” and the iCloud Photos logo to add your iCloud Photos account to MultCloud. Also, add IDrive e2 to MultCloud with the same operations.

Step 3. Select “Cloud Transfer” in the left sidebar and choose iCloud Photos as the source and IDrive e2 as the target. Then, click “Transfer Now” to initiate the task.

Way 2. Upload Photos from iPhone to IDrive
