Hello, Your question is clear but a bit technical. I’m not sure about the exact setup you’re describing. If you upload all your 200GB photos and videos to iCloud, then remove them from your iPhone to free space, and later sync new content from the iPhone back into iCloud without deleting what you previously removed, it depends on how iCloud handles syncing after a reset. Since iCloud automatically syncs, resuming after a pause or deletion might restore those files unless you have specific settings or restrictions in place. It’s worth checking your iCloud storage limits and sync preferences to understand the outcome.
