[QUOTE="Gnomac43, post: 1918866, member: 414907"] Thanks for the explanation. You got the whole point :D , I'm not sure why you keep saying that you didn't understand it... There is one thing that I can't do, that is choosing which folder to sync, like in OneDrive for example, if you know it, you know what I mean, you can basically decide the folders to sync... Now, all this is due to one critical point, I don't have enough disk space and it's quite of a pain, so I was searching a solution to upload large and unused files on daily basis simply by choosing what to sync and what not, so every time I need to upload something heavy, I can free up space manually. I'm a bit surprised that iCloud doesn't have such feature, or did I miss even that? The one you suggested it would sync all the files, plus it's not clear what folders is gonna sync exactly, maybe just Documents and Downloads as it says. Anyway, keeping all the files on the disk is crucial if you want to backup your cloud data to an external disk, otherwise I can't really do it... Also with Time Machine is the same, what's in the disk will be backed up, the rest of the cloud data not synced will be left behind. This article mentions the same problem, just as an example: [URL='https://www.backblaze.com/blog/dont-get-trapped-icloud/']Don’t Get Trapped in iCloud[/URL] Not even photos that resides in the photos App can be backed up elsewhere... I guess it's the same for the iWork files created from an App... [/QUOTE]
