Sometimes I really think you can read my mind: just this morning I was wondering how I could access and what I could do with iCloud via web! Thanks, Gary. Exceptional tutorial as always. 👏🏻
Regardless of my familiarity with the topics you cover, I always watch your video. Most times I learn something new. That's part of what makes your videos useful. Clear, concise information. Thanks!
So helpful! I’ve been wondering why my mail rules weren’t being followed across all my devices. Also the iCloud page layout looks like it’ll be easier to see what has been stored up there and what I can delete to make more room.
Thanks, Gary. I use iCloud a LOT, but missed this interface update till now 👍 really like it. Works fine on Firefox and any Chrome-based browsers, and works perfectly, just as expected, in Linux too, which as a software engineer I use all the time when not at home, and using my normal Apple devices.
Another wonderful video Gary. I enjoy your videos as I always learn something. I do indeed like the new interface that Mac has introduced to the iCloud structure. Seems very useful to me! Again thanks for keeping us educated in all that is Mac most.
Great video. I was on a job recently and wanted to add a note to my phone, but didn't want to get the phone out, so figured i surely can do this via iCloud on the web - and yes, it works great! Very impressed with iCloud on the web and I'm sure there will be more features added over time.
Hi Gary. Well, you've done it again: Found a use for something I didn't know existed! As always, your video is clear and easy to follow, and very very useful. I've used iCloud on the Web to troubleshoot syncing problems but not recently. This new interface is quite the revelation. Thank you for all the work you do so we can simply benefit. Cheers.
Thank you, Gary! Definitely useful if I am far from my Apple devices, or if I lose them. Thanks a lot for the work you're doing for the community! Watched a lot of your videos, and love them all!
There also doesn't seem to be a way of uploading an entire folder or to move a sub-folder into a different higher-level folder, although I've just had my Mac Mini 2020 for less than a week so this might also be true if I was working on the Mac and not one of my Linux or Windows machines. If I had my choice, though, I'd rather see a list view before being able to do anything I have already mentioned. Great videos, Gary; I'm learning MacOS from you. Thanks!
Hi Gary, thank you for this great video. This is an improvement. But still, after all these years, Apple still doesn’t understand users by not providing simple options as a list view. Apparently they never bothered to look at how great and user friendly the Dropbox web UI is. Lot’s of greetings, Dennis 🇳🇱
@@shemmac4700 That was “fast”. But look at how they have implemented this. So few space for showing the full filename., just because the columns cannot be resized, the width of the columns is all the same and this shared column that I do not use but can’t remove. Very poor UI design. In my opinion, Apple has lost it’s connection with their users.
Do you have an episode that explains how one could disconnect from the Apple ecosystem as far as Photos is concerned? I would like to see how it would be to be in this world without being connected to the iCloud photo library. Couldn't I just take photos and connect back to a computer and download them off like it was way back in iTunes?
I operate only in the Apple environment but have never used iCloud. If I want to push photos from my iPhone to my MacBook or vice-a-versa , I just use airdrop.
Great video, and it will help a lot of users for sure. Thanks for your efforts. I don't see this feature, but is it possible to schedule emails via the web access?
Gary, thank you so much for your daily videos. Is there any chance you could make a tutorial on Extensions, I see mine with nothing in it and I am not sure what it is for. ~~~~~~~~~~~Thank you.
Safari Extensions? If you don't have any, you probably don't need any. You can search in the App Store for them, but only install ones you really have a serious need for.
Very good information again Gary! Maybe you have thought of this or maybe you are already doing it, but have you ever thought of teaching a Masterclass or a class on Skillshare?
Hi Gary, so glad you are tackling this subject because I am trying to learn more and more about using the site, reviewing the data and checking in from time to time. Plus, the new layout is fantastic on iCloud's homepage.Question for you: If an individual has a personal Mac and then a work only Mac, do you recommend the user creates a separate Apple ID? If yes, what are the reasons you recommend doing so? Happy Holidays and keep up the great work! 👏🏽
Great Info Gary , quick question. I had app that used to back up to icloud then app got discontinued , is their a way to access my app info using browser or a third party program?
No button to push or anything like that. But remember that devices will try to conserve battery and bandwidth. So things will sync faster and more often when you are connected to power, charged mostly up, and on Wi-Fi instead of mobile.
I don't get it. I'm looking for something from years ago that should in the iCloud? Where the heck is it? It seems to just have recent items. How useful is that???
Hi Gary. Do you know if there is a way to play the videos in full resolution ?? I just want to see my videos, i dont want to download, but it just cant find the way. Thank you.
Great video - When I log into iCloud drive, I have no search function for files. Is there a way to do this on the browser version of iCloud? (Windows 10 Pro OS, tried Chrome, Edge, and FireFox browsers).
Now my Android 7 get in touch with apple. Like drop-box and gmail-account. On High Sierra Safari do not work with iCloud page but Opera. Mac settings/iCloud nothing is checked/aktiv. Thank you. Servus
Since my ICloud is filled to max,and I do not want to pay more for storage, I would like to FIRST Copy the ICloud PHOTOS to my External Drive as a BACK UP … Would logging into the IClou be the means of copying the Photos to another DRIVE ?? ; is there a Obvious Feature or tool I cloud provides to COPY TO EXTERNAL DEVICE ?
It isn't easy to do and I have never done it (I just have a large enough drive so I have Optimize turned off anyway). You'd probably need to start a new library on your external, then set that to the System Library, then let everything download to it with Optimize turned off. Lots of pitfalls along the way.
Sounds like you want to use the Pages web app for that (not necessarily "sync iCloud"). I haven't tried to do a TOC with that, but updating the heading styles for lines should do it.
I sent about 50 videos to myself via my phone, which automatically got put in icloud for sending. I expected a single link to icloud where I could see and download them all, but instead, I'm seeing 50 individual links to individual videos. Once I opened up icloud in the browser, it says there's nothing in my storage, even though I'm getting a "storage almost full" message on my phone. Any idea what's going on?
Hard to tell without seeing what you are seeing. If you really want to get to the bottom of it and can't figure it out by looking through, then I'd call Apple Support and work with them on it.
I find it frustrating that Apple have not created a feature to allow me to search my iCloud Drive from the web interface.. Or am I missing something here?
I am so sick of iCloud. It rarely syncs with my MacBook Pro or vice versa. It used then stopped. My iCloud storage has plenty of space. My iPhone sync with iCloud but not my MacBook Pro (M1).
☠BLACK BARON☠ Apple changed this web interface a hundred times in frontend and backend development. I saw a white empty page by trying to view my iCloud drive in Apple Safari web browser.
This is the best tutorial on using iCloud I’ve seen. Learned a lot of new things. Many thanks!

A very useful and informative video tutorial today! You explain so well! Thank you, Gary! 👏🏻❤️
Thank you, Gary! Definitely useful if I am far from my Apple devices, or if I lose them. Thanks a lot for the work you're doing for the community! Watched a lot of your videos, and love them all!
I'm loving the new iCloud site. So much more useful than the old way. Is there a way to switch the appearance to dark mode?
Not currently.
There also doesn't seem to be a way of uploading an entire folder or to move a sub-folder into a different higher-level folder, although I've just had my Mac Mini 2020 for less than a week so this might also be true if I was working on the Mac and not one of my Linux or Windows machines.

Thanks again Gary. Informative and to the point.

So are you just asking how to turn off iCloud Photos? Just turn it off in Photos, Settings, iCloud.
I operate only in the Apple environment but have never used iCloud. If I want to push photos from my iPhone to my MacBook or vice-a-versa , I just use airdrop.
I love you! I didn't know I could do this stuff. Tried your tutorial and it works. Thank you. 💐
Wow! Brilliant tutorial, Gary. At home we have a range of Apple devices but my work computer is Windows so this is really useful. Thanks
This is too good 😊
Great Gary. Very, very helpful, as always. Thanks for sharing your vast knowledge.
Thanks GARY 💰✅💯
Thanks !
As always, another great video! Thank you, Gary.
Great video, and it will help a lot of users for sure. Thanks for your efforts. I don't see this feature, but is it possible to schedule emails via the web access?
No, that's not a feature offered.

Very good information again Gary! Maybe you have thought of this or maybe you are already doing it, but have you ever thought of teaching a Masterclass or a class on Skillshare?
I have been making courses for years. First ay Udemy, and now I have my own site with courses: courses.macmost.com
Nice information. Do you know can we edit-copy-paste from a chrome gmail to an apple note? Well done and thank you.
I don't see why not. Try it.
The important question is: Will all files in iCloud be safe and not allowed to be viewed by iCloud website employees or hacked?
They are encrypted, yes. See support.apple.com/en-us/102651
Thanks for the info! Is there a way to access the Text messages?
Wish they had a list view for iCloud drive files and folders.
Learned a lot. Again

If you want to keep personal and work separate, then yes. Whether you do so is up to you and your personal situation.
Great Stuff, I would to remind people it's not for file backups, as so many believe.
Yep. ruclips.net/video/yM-hbmpTfgI/видео.html
great and helpful video, thank you
GREAT VIDEO! Can you also access iMessages via a web browser? THANKS
No.
@@macmost Thanks! Love your work!
I wish this update is also the same with windows version.
Hi Gary, Thank you for this. One question - how can I search for a file on the iCloud web browser--- can't seem to find a search function.. :/
You can't. Use the Finder on your Mac to do it, or the Files app on iOS or iPadOS.
Great Info Gary , quick question. I had app that used to back up to icloud then app got discontinued , is their a way to access my app info using browser or a third party program?
You'd have to ask the app developer that.
Great tutorial. Sometimes iCloud is slow to sync between my devices. Is there a way to force it to sync immediately? Thanks.
No button to push or anything like that. But remember that devices will try to conserve battery and bandwidth. So things will sync faster and more often when you are connected to power, charged mostly up, and on Wi-Fi instead of mobile.
@@macmost Thanks
I don't get it. I'm looking for something from years ago that should in the iCloud? Where the heck is it? It seems to just have recent items. How useful is that???
What are you looking for? A file? A note? A photo? Something else?
Thanks bunches
Hi Gary. Do you know if there is a way to play the videos in full resolution ?? I just want to see my videos, i dont want to download, but it just cant find the way. Thank you.
Which videos? The ones you have stored in iCloud?
Great video - When I log into iCloud drive, I have no search function for files. Is there a way to do this on the browser version of iCloud? (Windows 10 Pro OS, tried Chrome, Edge, and FireFox browsers).
No, the web version of the Files app doesn't have that.
Now my Android 7 get in touch with apple. Like drop-box and gmail-account.
On High Sierra Safari do not work with iCloud page but Opera. Mac settings/iCloud nothing is checked/aktiv.
Thank you.

yeah but you cant message anymore.
Doesn’t work on brave browser

No, it doesn't even give me this dashboard. That's why I was looking for this video in the first place... It only shows me my settings.
Not sure what you are asking here.
Is there anyway to easily share photos with a family member in another state who has a non Apple smart phone?
You can use a Shared Photos Album for that. ruclips.net/video/rt2hKEs-ZZU/видео.html
hi, how to sync icloud in windows PC? I need to update the Table of content in pages but I don't see the ribbons in my window.
Thank you 🙏🙏🙏
Sounds like you want to use the Pages web app for that (not necessarily "sync iCloud"). I haven't tried to do a TOC with that, but updating the heading styles for lines should do it.
Hi Gary, when I use Apple calendar on my Windows machine in Firefox it looks all scrunched up and unreadable. Any idea why. Thanks.
Sorry, no. Maybe you have a zoom setting other than 100%?
You are right. I had to zoom out of the webpage and now it seems fine. Can't see the whole page at one go but, still, better. @@macmost
@@macmost You were right. Changed the view and it's better. Now need to scroll to see the whole thing, but, still, it's better.
All OK except for one piece of critical information: where to find the backups!
Backups? What do you mean? Like your iPhone backups? They aren't a part of the web interface.
icloud mail "this message cannot be loaded this time try again later" when i try to open email
I sent about 50 videos to myself via my phone, which automatically got put in icloud for sending.

Where is the search bar in iCloud?
Do you mean in the iCloud.com website for iCloud Drive? I don't think you can search there.
I find it frustrating that Apple have not created a feature to allow me to search my iCloud Drive from the web interface.. Or am I missing something here?
Right, you can't.
I'm using google instead of Safari.I don't have the mail box on on my homepage where else can I get that
Click the apps button at the top right (looks like a grid of dots).
what do I scroll down to.
@@macmost
would icloudcontacts be the same thing. My Mac mini os might look different than yours@@macmost
wow iCloud web is beautiful, dark mode missing
It plays really nicely with Dark Reader on Firefox and Safari, although you still get a light background.
I am so sick of iCloud. It rarely syncs with my MacBook Pro or vice versa. It used then stopped. My iCloud storage has plenty of space. My iPhone sync with iCloud but not my MacBook Pro (M1).
Don't put up with it not working. Call Apple Support and figure it out. It should work without issue.
