It's not something I can fix without buying a 2350 or 3200 pounds machine, depending on the screen size etc...I could only use an additional cloud service which allows the upload of files from an USB3 drive, or whatever external location, but it needs to support incremental changes... Probably only Dropbox does it.In any case, I would need to buy other 3 disks...1. Disk for TM - 4TB (80 pounds) (I have a small one at the moment, my fault)2. Disk for 3rd party cloud sync - 4TB (80 pounds)3. Disk for cloud data backups - 4TB (80 pounds, but I may also skip this one, it's not strictly necessary... This disk would be used with an Rsync)Then, how I backup the iCloud data into my 2nd external disk would be all an adventure! I guess that an RSync of the iCloud folder (excluding the iCloud Drive folder) would be sufficient.Same for the 3rd disk, eventually.Cost wise, it makes sense to evaluate a NAS honestly!!!Eventually dropping off the idea of using iCloud Drive as a primary location for Data sync, so I don't need to buy a super expensive machine, but invest a bit more on a NAS.Again, the NAS has the infrastructure requirement which may not be always available, for whatever reason, it's simply a very complex scenario at the end, if you want to keep the network safe I mean...Am I in a tunnel or I evaluated the problems correctly?</blockquote>
