I'm aware of the website, but it's much slower and probably it will kill the download at some point. (I'm aware of the 50GB limitation...)5. Fundamentally, there is another issue, I can't easily backup all my cloud content to a USB drive, because not everything can be synced in local first...This opens up a couple of issues, I will never have a proper backup, unless I go crazy doing it manually.The price of a MacBook with 2TB is simply crazy, a MacBook Pro 13" M2 costs 2350 pounds with 2TB disk and 16GB Ram only. I mean, crazy for my pocket, not for the machine itself... Plus, it's not easy to resell such machines...I don't consider a MacBook Air for the years ahead, with increase of temperatures I'm afraid it won't make it under heavy load, so a fan is always a nice have, plus the "enter" button is capped in the MacBook Air, which I ate more than anything else...Do you know any alternative solution?I'm planning to have an all in one solution with iCloud and one **** disk, or whatever works with Apple considering the price...</blockquote>
