Moreover is subjected to user mistakes, which one was updated last? <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" />I considered that post, and that's the whole point, I need to have a bigger disk at the end instead of having a better reliable and manageable way to backup my cloud content which I frequently use.That's my plan:1. Free up space (DONE). I left some garbage on cloud that I don't need to backup.2. TM backup is already in place3. The external HDD is already in my hand, but I still don't get how I'm supposed to sync all the files that I frequently use in case I run out of space.I can use a custom script, sure, I can also use TM, but this implies that in the case I want to backup all in one shot, my limitation is always the internal disk size, ALWAYS!4. The point now is to remove the constraint of the internal disk size, but I didn't find a comfortable solution at the moment. I can easily use Rsync, but again, the space on the machine is always the one that it's in charge, I can't offload/load data into the primary M2 every time I need to sync up files... This process should be seamless and faultless, easy to use and to rescue if things go wrong, plus fully automated.All this mess happens because iCloud Drive doesn't allow me to select an external location, so hateful!</blockquote>
