Why does the memory usage increase

…on my iphone when I upload pictures from my phone to the My Cloud?  The memory usage of the My Cloud app on my iphone was 800MB but after uploading 500MB of pictures from my iphone to My Cloud, the memory usage of the My Cloud app showed it increased to 1.3GB.  Why is that and how do I stop that from happening?  

One of the purposes of the My Cloud was to free up space on my iphone but instead, it is using even more of it!

Thanks.

…because it is loading them into its own cache to upload them to the cloud.    You can clear the cache to free the space back up.
