Users soon be able to transfer photos directly from Google to Apple's cloud storage
By MYBRANDBOOK
As part of the Data Transfer Initiative (DTI), Apple and Google are offering a solution for transferring photos directly from Google Photos to iCloud Photos. The offering from Apple and Google will likely be rolled out over the next week. Currently, if a user wants to transfer pictures, they have to first download from Google Photos and then upload it on the Apple iCloud. This process is however going to be a lot easier with the direct transfer option.
According to Apple, users can select the photos from iCloud and share permissions of media visibility with Google which will appear in a new “Import from Google” album in the Photos app.
According to an update on Apple's support page, this service will be available to Apple account holders in over 240 countries and regions. If the service is available for a user, the option will be available within Google Takeout.
The service is however not available for child accounts or managed Apple ID accounts. Additionally, users cannot import photo and video data to iCloud while “Advanced Data Protection” for iCloud is turned on for the account.
Apple has also reaffirmed that when users transfer photos and videos from Google Photos to iCloud Photos, the files are not deleted from Google Photos.
The list of supported file types includes JPEG, HEIC, PNG, GIF, TIFF, BMP, MP4 and MOV. For other photos and video files that cannot be transferred to iCloud Photos, such as RAW files, will be transferred to iCloud Drive instead.
