    There were some things I didn’t quite understand about iCloud and I tried learning something via videos which were all over the place with their info and I just couldn’t watch but for less than a minute. So I decided to use iCloud for a while on and off and then stopped bc I was unable to understand and coordinate all those files I had “roaming around” on my different devices! But thank goodness that I serendipitously came across your video which clarified everything for me, EVERYTHING! And you did this in just a few minutes! You were so clear and easy to understand from the very beginning! Thank you so much! You saved me a whole lot of time, especially time spent on other useless videos! 👍

    WOW!!! I wish someone or you had posted this video earlier because I have learned all these methods - well a hard way...lol!!
    Anyways, I watched the whole video, few points I learned from this video was understanding that iCloud when signed in, comes with its own desktop and documents and it sucks up all the data from out machine and puts it on cloud based, virtual desktop and documents!!
    You are just simply, amazing with your way of work and the kind of topics you bring up. Good Luck!

    • @Learnwithjoel
      @Learnwithjoel  2 года назад +1

      Thanks so much @Sheh Zad! I appreciate the kind words!
      I would clarify that when you choose the option to Sync the Desktop & Documents Folder to iCloud, it's just taking the existing Desktop and Documents folder on the Mac and making it part of the Cloud. Those are the only two folders that let you be part of that environment aside from the main iCloud Drive folder.
      Seriously though, thank you for the support and your feedback means a lot!

    thank you!! very structured and clear tutorial. nice that you two macbooks to show and not only talk about what happens. I hope your channel is gonna refinance the second one. :) litlle side story... yeah the "cloud" is just another computer somewhere. people trust to much. because of that word. last year in france the building of a cloud service burnt down with most of its servers. so many people lost all their data. It's always good to have a second and third backup. I use icloud as an "instant" backup and time machine for my harddrives. I even keep my backup drives in different places "far" away. you know. :)

  • @raychat2816
    @raychat2816 Год назад +2

    I think the biggest inconvenience with iCloud Drive or any other similar service is that by default the preference is to MOVE files there and potentially lose them when I don’t want to use it, instead of copying and simply helping with copying files across devices, whenever i’m turning off iCloud Drive , the default action is to REMOVE files I currently have locally into iCloud Drive, as if by punishment, instead of simply leaving the device be, not everyone will always think of storing files locally or on an external drive, safe from the wrath of leaving iCloud Drive or similar services, my losing files that way before is one of the reasons for completely turning off iCloud altogether on all my devices and manually transferring files whenever I want to without the growing risk over time of forgetting how it works and losing files again.
    That said the video illustrates very nicely how it works

    Thanks for this very clear presentation. I love Apple software and I use pages, notes, sheet, and keynote extensively. However, I found Apple’s file management inferior to Google when it comes to sharing files with the public.
    I’m writing a book containing a bunch of spreadsheets which, to my knowledge, cannot be embedded in a published pages book, and I have had to insert these sheets in Google drive link (avoiding internet sites and their annoying ads) for readers to download these spreadsheets. Why? Well for some strange reason publicly-accessible iCloud links expire after about one month.
    So I have the very strange situation of having Apple sheet files stored on Google drive that are only accessible to users with Apple sheet.

One issue I'm having regularly is keeping certain files ALWAYS DOWNLOADED on my iPhone and iPad - eg ID cards, passport copies, vaccination docs (we don't have apple wallet enabled yet in my country!). they keep going offline. How do you mark certain files to always be available offline (or when wifi isn't available)?

    Excellent video. I have been using Macs since 1987 with System 3 using 800K floppy discs. I have gradually evolved the way I work as the Apple ecosystem has developed. Unfortunately when iCloud started it couldn't handle all my data files (not a real pseudo hard drive then), so I invested in Dropbox to synchronise between desktop and notebook computers. I am now migrating from Dropbox to iCloud, but I need to work out what I can remove from [paid for] Dropbox! With my data storage also including external hard drives, I am using around 10TB (including TimeMachine backup and a full main drive clone) so it is quite a mental task to work out what is where, and where it should be! Oh yes, I still have a USB floppy disc drive unit, just in case - and it works!
