ipad iphone windows picture sharing

[Paul Drawmer]

I am not familiar with the apple ecosystem, but an elderly neighbour has photos on her iphone, ipad and windows laptop. At the moment, they are 3 separate collections, and she would like to see all her pictures on any device.

Can she use Google pictures to share across all her devices, or is there a better way? If this is the way to do it, what would she need to install on the apple devices?

Could she put Onedrive on each device and some kind of auto upload to the same folder?

Make sure she’s signed into the same iCloud account on each apple device and enable picture sync. That should mirror the two devices. As for windows, download iCloud for Windows and that should sync all her pictures into an iCloud photo folder.

I agree with using the apple system as that will likely offer the simplest approach for her.

Ah yes, good point. I didn't read thoroughly enough to see it was mainly Apple stuff.

Thank you for that - I will be suggesting/assisting her to do this.
