Backup of files in TimeMachine iCloud drive

I just above has migrated to a MacBook 12 '' Air of Macbook using Time Machine and noticed that my 2.4 GB of iCloud drive files are downloaded rather than migrating to the TimeMachine. This suggests that these files are not be saved locally, which is relative.

Is it true that Time Machine does not back up iCloud locally stored files?

Apparently, the files are backed up and stored in ~/library/mobile documents based on the following thread:

Does not save icloud to Time Machine when you create on a Mac

Indeed, I see my files in there, but I'm confused why these files have not been restored to the new machine and instead the entire library is to be re-uploaded. Fortunately, I had ~ 2 GB, but it would take hours for a larger library.

Does anyone know if it is possible to restore the Time Machine backup files and let the iCloud to update as needed? It would appear more sensible and more similar to other cloud solutions.

  • iCloud drive text files being opened with numbers

    Before, everything worked fine with text files (.txt files) I have in iCloud drive.

    A tap on iCloud drive and another click on a text file on my iPhone would open the file Notes.

    From some point on (I think I got the same text file open at the same time on my Mac and my iPhone) iCloud drive to text on my iPhone files are opened with numbers.

    Later, when I type a text file to the iCloud drive on my iPhone I have numbers open this file.

    When I press the information next to the name of text file icon, I get a screen of info saying at the top of the right page "open in numbers."

    I have the text file is a file in format (.rtf), there is no problem; Notes opens this file; and the Info screen, top right, for this file says nothing about the application that will open the file.

    This only happens on my iPhone; I have a 5 s, 64 GB, with the latest iOS 9.3.1

    On my Mac everything works fine.

    I tried a "Reset all settings" but that did not work.

    No idea of what is happening and how to fix?

  • iCloud Drive not download

    For 3 weeks, whenever I put a new file in my iCloud drive in the Finder on my MacBook Air, it will not download. The process starts but it stops near the end. The little loading circle is almost full, but all my new files are download for 3 weeks. Am I the only one having this problem or is it a problem with the iCloud servers?

    Try to restart the Finder.

    The command, Option + ESC shortcut keyboard will bring up the force quit window. Select Finder, and then click on restart.

    Or, go to the Apple  menu and click on force quit menu drop down > Finder > restart

    If that doesn't help, check your iCloud storage > manage your iCloud - Apple Support storage space

  • iCloud drive Local Storage Management on iOS

    I can imagine a circumstance in which an iCloud drive may contain enough files to exceed the capacity of storage available for an iOS device.

    1. does anyone know how iOS handles this situation?

    2. in general, are all the files in the iCloud drive copied down for iOS devices, or is it only meta data to iOS show the structure of the disk allowing iOS to download copies of files on demand?

    With Dropbox, you must manually choose which files you want stored locally on your iOS device. I'm guessing that Apple tried to relieve users from having to think about this issue and they designed the iOS to just do the right thing by managing local storage automatically and gracefully.

    Only, they are copied to your device when you open then (with some exceptions). If you start running out of room, your device will delete them intelligently...

  • iCloud Drive seems not support summary

    When the synchronization of larger files I noticed iCloud drive does not support download resume.

    This means the following:

    • You put a file in your folder to iCloud
    • During the download, you turn off your computer
    • You turn on your computer again
    • iCloud drive will then begin to download the file from the beginning - ignoring the part already downloaded previously!

    Virtually every other disc cloud like Dropbox and Co service are fundamental to resume a download or download functionality supported.

    What's wrong??

    A lot of things, that's how it works (for which I am personally grateful)

  • Why finder hide Documents and office files in the home directory of the user by activating iCloud drive? What about the behavior of Time Machine backup or third-party applications?

    I'm under MacOS Sierra. I am connected to my iCloud account. I activated the option Desktop and Documents, but I did NOT activate the option optimize Mac storage, because I wanted to make sure that all my files would be available locally, just in case, I would need to work without an internet connection.

    -J' noticed there now a menu iCloud in my sidebar in the Finder, with links to Documents and desktop.

    -J' also noticed that Documents is no longer presented in my favorites in my side bar of the Finder.

    -This last suggests that files saved in 'Documents' are not saved more on my HD... but only in iCloud, which isn't what I want.

    -Then, sailing in the Finder Macintosh HD/users / 'My account' /, I noticed that my Documents and desktop folders are more visible, as if these files are not saved in my home folder most. Which raises the question: where are My Documents and files on my HD, so they are still?

    -Using a shell session in the terminal and again navigate to/Users / 'My account' /, I noticed that my Documents and desktop folders are still there. Which suggest that records and records of office reside actually still in my home folder under users, but Finder actually hide it and present them as being stored in iCloud only disc. It's very confusing.

    This raises several questions:

    -In the first place, why Apple hide Documents and office files in the directory? Why not view these folders in iCloud and directory?

    -Whence the iCloud folder or drive, reside actually on my hard drive?

    -What time Machine. Is it still back up my document files and folders?

    -What games third-party app mirroring backup of My Documents files and folders? They still work properly? (I use Livedrive backup and Sugarsync for files mirrored across several macs).

    -How can I understand that Apple is doing with my folders and files? Some users might be happy with the iCloud drive concept, without worrying about how it works, but I don't take chances, and I want to keep a good understanding about the functioning of my system.

    Could someone explain what is exactly happening?

    With office and selected Documents, access to these files are now in the iCloud Drive, not in your home folder.

    My guess would be that they do not appear in your file because it would be confusing for many people to make them in two places.

    If you want in the Favorites, open iCloud Drive and drag them in the sidebar here.

    All about iCloud drive has been saved on your Mac. With the exception of the office and the Documents, they are in ~/Library/Mobile Documents. However, if you choose optimized storage, older documents are removed from your Mac. I don't know what is "old".

    ~/Documents and ~/desktop have new metadata indicating probably Finder does not display them in a Finder window, only in iCloud drive. They are not hidden in one of the normal methods of unix.

    I have not tested Time Machine or any other backup program. The folder still exist in your directory home, and they still have all the files, I don't think that changes anything.
