Chromebook and iCloud

[dianehelen]

is there anyway to access, upload, download , save, etc, photos on an iCloud account from a Chromebook?

Im asking for my son , who is an iPhone fanboi, and is looking to get a CB but has 8 billion pictures of food, and other nonsense, on his icloud,

Ive looked around a bit, and cant really get a clear answer...

Wasn't there an iCloud webpage? I think you can access your content there, and I don't see why that wouldn't work with a Chromebook.

Not photos :-(

This is all the website has access to from CB or any android device

I'm sure there's gotta be a setting somewhere he has to activate... I can see a whole bunch of stuff, Photos included. I tried on my cellphone and it shows the same thing (I have to force Desktop Mode on Chrome mobile, but still works).

But do you have an iPhone or any other apple device that it's synched to? Maybe, if that's the case it would work for my son. I have no apple devices.

Aaaaaah!! Thought you were looking at your son's account. Yes, I sync my work iPhone (or I believe it does, I seldom pick up the thing for anything other than calls haha).

Oh, and I'm not sure you can upload using the web interface... my phone syncs over WiFi, I've never connected it to iTunes.

ok, that may work. he does not care about itunes, just would.want access.to.photos. would not need to upload from CB, just access

Thanks for your help running thru this
