How to Transfer Photos from an iPhone to a Computer Using iCloud
Company photos stored on your iPhone provide material you can use in advertisements, promotions and your website. Getting your photos from your iPhone using iCloud involves setting up Photo Stream to store the last 30 days of photos on the iCloud server. Stored photos automatically get downloaded to all of your devices that you have set up to use Photo Stream. Shared Photo Streams also provide an option to share photos with your employees, partners or clients.
