Icloud settings seem to want to iforce you to be set to automatically share, everytime you access anything to do with picture it begs you to log into icloud, even if you deactivated icloud when running the first setup.
Bit poor given their recent issues.
Given my understanding of what apple devices save, what they save, where it is actually stored and how awful itunes is at letting you know what is physically on what device, i would hate to start to try to make head nor tail of what icloud is at.
This thing now seems to want to upload, and then download every new picture that is taken and make it appear on every device. No thanks.
