Please note that everything that I am laying out here and for this entire guide translates well over to Android. Its simply a matter of preference for me, and there are a lot of great Android Camera phones as well such as the Google Pixel series and Samsung Galaxy. One of the obvious issues with using an iPhone as a camera is that you only have a limited amount of storage. Assuming a 64 GB iPhone, you’re already losing space to the OS itself, and the applications you have downloaded on the phone. So then you’re kind of stuck deleting stuff constantly and hoping that you do not run out of storage for that one shoot. Not with iCloud With iCloud, you are able to have an easily accessible method of keeping all your files in one place. This is great if you already have a MacBook or iPad as you can transfer files easily and quickly. The way that I use iCloud is as space where I keep all the assets I may use in a video, as well as any finished projects I've worked on for the year, which eventually goes onto a hard drive for archival purposes. When I record a video off of my iPhone, I will save the video to a folder on iCloud specifically for that purpose, and then in about ~5 minutes, I will be able to download that file onto my iPad, which would allow me to make a quick project via iMovie, or my Mac, where I can do more complex edits. Keep in mind Airdrop can also accomplish this, but with the downside of not being able to remove the file of the iPhone to save space. When combined with a high capacity iPhone, space is literally not an issue anymore and you are able to move your files fluidly. There is one downside though: sharing files. iCloud completely blows when it comes to this and it's one of the reasons I am looking to switch to Google Drive in the future. There’s really no downside either as the sharing options for both iCloud and Google drive are in the same place and ill be able to actually send download links to people. It's the simple things Apple fucks up.
