[QUOTE="Rod, post: 1822397, member: 204485"] iCloud does a great job of syncing all things Mac such as contacts, mail, calendars, reminders etc, as well as a number of third party data bases but when it comes to uploading large quantities of data it's really pretty slow compared to other cloud based storage at least when it comes to uploading. From what I can glean uploads are about a quarter of download speeds. Drop box and Google drive are significantly faster and there are many others. I don't think Apple ever intended users to upload huge quantities of data at one time. Rather a slow incremental addition of small packages of data over time. With Photos the process is further complicated by the need to compare existing data to the new data. Personally I depend on local backups for photos and music and Google Photos with its Backup Utility because it's free, fast, accessible, unlimited and automatic.
