Reply to comment by zwomt in Figuring out iCloud Photos by Wakellor957

So I mean; when my iPhone decides there's not enough space for more photos, then certain photos from my collection are retrospectively moved to the Cloud and only a preview remains. When this happens, and I try to move photos over the cable (which is faster) to my computer, will it then either not recognise those photos or transfer previews instead?

They are always in the cloud.

If you use the photos app to export the photos then full size ones are downloaded and exported from iCloud even if your computer only had a oreview
