[QUOTE="Profcool, post: 1922759, member: 415985"] Apologies, wasn't sure where the best post this query but hoping someone can help. I am a long time user of Google services (Photos, Drive, Docs etc) but having now predominately moved across to all Apple devices I want to move all of my Cloud based storage from Google Drive to iCloud. In Google Drive I have a large number of old home videos backed up and if I want to watch any of these I can select them from within Google Drive and they will start to stream. When I try to do the same in iCloud the videos are being downloaded to watch locally rather than being streamed. Is there any setting I need to turn on that will allow me to stream vides stored in iCloud or is this just a restriction of the service? If its a restriction is there any other way around this? Phots and music files still seem to open successfully via iCloud, it's just videos I am having issue with. My Apple devices don't have a huge amount of local storage so I don't want to suddenly clog them up by downloading a number of large video files. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
