Send Videos from iPhone to PC Using iCloud Photos [without a Cable]

Is there any way to transfer videos from iPhone to PC wirelessly? Of course, the answer is Yes. You can use iCloud to sync iPhone videos to Windows or Mac without a cable. It is free to sync videos from iPhone to PC via iCloud for less than 5GB. Otherwise, you need to pay to upgrade your iCloud storage. By the way, if you want to delete photos from iPhone but not iCloud, you need to turn off "Sync this iPhone" or "iCloud Photos" manually.
1. Open the Settings app on iPhone. Tap your name. Then tap the "iCloud" and "Photos" button.
2. Turn on the toggle button before "Sync this iPhone" (or "iCloud Photos" on some older iPhone devices.)
3. Connect your PC to the same Wi-Fi network. Download iCloud for Windows. Sign in with the same Apple ID.
4. Turn on the toggle button of the "iCloud Photos" option on your computer. Tap the "Done" button to save changes.
5. Wait a while as your videos and photos are automatically downloaded from iPhone to PC. You can go to the iCloud Photos folder to see all synced iPhone videos.
