How Does Photo Stream Work with iCloud

What Are the Two Types of Photo Stream

As we all know that Apple introduces two different types of Photo Streams that work with iCloud - My Photo Stream and Shared Photo Stream.

My Photo Stream allows you to automatically share photos between your computers and iOS mobile devices as long as they are linked to the same iCloud account. Once set up, this sharing process runs in the background - automatically.

Shared Photo Streams works in conjunction with the Photos app (and optional iPhoto app). Shared Photo Streams provide you an easy way to share as many photos as you'd like that are stored on your iOS mobile device with specific people who you select. This sharing is completed by using online galleries that are created using iCloud to showcase your selected photos.
