My cousin used my MacBook pro, logged in to icloud, and then turned off the synchronization when he saw that the photos were synchronizing, and then logged out of the icloud account.
He has photos on icloud for almost 10 years. It was paid before, but then it didn't renew it. After using my MacBook pro to quit icloud, the photos were all gone. All the photos that have been saved in icloud for ten years are gone
Let him contact apple for support
What could this be? What operations do normally on the computer, it should not delete the data in the cloud, right?

Anonymous10901 May 24, 2025@ Anonymous779 All three mainstream foreign companies support file historical versions, and the desktop supports incremental synchronization. In addition, dropbox membership supports dropbox rewind, and you can choose the files in the folder to roll back to the past moment. onedrive can roll back all files to a past moment. On the contrary, iCloud does not have a file history version. Although 2T is turned on, it is only used for photo and device backup and restricts the application synchronization of Apple system.

Anonymous46 May 24, 2025@ Anonymous10901 iCloud does not support file historical versions, which is really a big touch. This thing is not difficult to do regardless of technology and cost. I don't know why Apple just won't give it

Anonymous11902 May 24, 2025Synchronization is actually a very complicated problem But the top companies can't do well, and I'm always confused

Anonymous1918 May 24, 2025@ Anonymous1824 Not expensive. It's easy to use, and the photos will not be lost if you don't seek death.

Anonymous623 May 24, 2025@ Anonymous6105 # 69 @ Anonymous10901 # 21 The key point is that I have made settings like "no need to save space" and "always keep local files" several times later, but none of them worked. Nowadays, all major network disks may be (forced) to use Apple's official network disk interface, so they can't create soft links, folder synchronization, or even hide the actual network disk folder paths like ordinary folders... Apple has really done the ultimate in order to sell its own services. Finally, dropbox has third-party apps that can do some functions that official apps can't, but you give important information to third-party apps? That's a joke. I can still think of the scene when I was on a business trip to a client's company and tried to open a form temporarily, but I couldn't open it (I didn't find this reason at that time). If I disconnect the Internet someday (you and I both know that dropbox disconnection in China is actually too possible). Anyway, I dare not use it anymore.

Anonymous6106 May 25, 2025@ Anonymous2337 # 18 Sometimes when I think of something, I can turn to the photo to recall it. However, I still have to print some paper ones, which are more interesting to turn over, and a lot of electronic ones are too lazy to turn over, except for the automatically generated memoirs, which are actually okay

Anonymous10901 May 25, 2025@ Anonymous623 macOS15/iOS18 Apple iCloud finally supports retaining downloads, maybe there are improvements for third parties.

Anonymous2501 May 27, 2025Anyway, it's just annoying to humans # # # # You said it was out of sync. Personally, I understand that you can save the original one as you want. # # # # Finally, the mobile phone is gone, and the computer is gone. Then where did he go? It's disgusting. I've encountered it once before. Now obediently open the big icloud space.
