Advice needed on iPhone Photos and iCloud for a non iPhone user

    My client was asking me about his iPhone today. He uses his iPhone 5 (i think it's 5) for both personal and business purposes. It's using the latest software 8.1.3.

    When he takes photos on the phone he wants them uploaded to iCloud. Then he wants to delete them from the phone with the assurity that they're backed up on iCloud.

    I've changed the settings on his phone to ensure that the photos are now automatically uploaded to iCloud. However, the problem is that when I delete them from the "All Photos" album they delete from iCloud. See a screenshot of his photo galleries on the phone below. There are no other galleries other than the ones in the screenshot. Any help would be appreciated.

    ICloud iPhoto Library is for syncing, not backing up.

    Why does he want to delete them? If it's to save space he'd be better of using Dropbox or something. ICloud is not a substitute for buying a device with sufficient storage.

    Ok, I understand. Thanks for replying. Basically he has personal photos and work photos in the one gallery and if he's with a client and showing him work photos then he doesn't want to be scrolling through his personal photos at the same time.

    I'll suggest Dropbox. I downloaded it for him today but it doesn't work with his computer as he's Windows XP. I'll be suggesting a new computer and I'll get back to him then regarding Dropbox.

    Thanks

    The other option is just to put work photos in a work album, and not bother with deleting anything.
