[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1951545, member: 396914"] It would still be confusing. It would make better sense to have totally unrelated names. Maybe something like "Online Document Storage" and "Sync Documents" and leave out "iCloud" altogether. I think the Apple marketers are too fond of "iCloud." The idea of modeless is to keep from confusing an end user by having the same stuff (app, hardware, whatever) have multiple ways of operation. Do a bit of research on "modeless" to see what I mean and why it's a bad idea to have multiple modes for the same setup. [/QUOTE]
