From Apple's press release on iCloud:[N]ow there’s an added bonus way to burn up that [iCloud] free space: your PC. Apple wants me to use their Cloud-based storage on all of my devices not just Apple ones. Pretty darn sneaky, if you ask me. Smart too....But, the most intriguing of all is the Photo Stream part of the iCloud application.
To setup your PC to use Photo Stream, click the checkbox and then click Options to see the screen in Figure 2.Here’s the really sneaky part: People take more photos with digital devices because it doesn’t cost anything to do so. Why is that sneaky? Because everyone wants those photos to be of the highest quality. Higher quality photos means bigger photos. Bigger photos means that they take up more space. Sneaky.
This means that you’ll burn through that five free gigabytes with one or two uploads from your iPod, iPhone, iPad or PC. You’ll have to buy more space as described in, “Avoiding the iCloud storage gotcha.”
the storage required by Photo Stream doesn’t count towards this 5GB total
Took me about 10 seconds on Bing to find this. I guess technology journalism is hard.
