iCloud - can I choose what is stored on different machines?

Hello

I have the 1 TB iCloud backup but I unlike Dropbox and other similar options, I can't find a way to disable the files are stored on my MacBook. If I record iCloud mounting, it fulfills all my hard drive with everything in the iCloud. Whereas with Google Reader, Dropbox etc I just check a bunch of checkboxes to decide what files are in the cloud and who I also have stored locally for easy access.

Does anyone know if I there is an option to select the files to be stored locally please? Or if it is planned in future releases. For example, I would intend to move to the option of 2 TB but it seems a bit pointless if all my macs must have all my files stored on it.

Any guidance or thoughts are greatly appreciated.

Thank you

Unlike other services that you mentioned, iCloud is designed primarily for synchronization of everything for all your devices. That's why it's always a proposal all or nothing. Perhaps use more than just iCloud taylor to your needs in best, i.e., iCloud for synchronization, Dropbox for cloud storage.

Apple can let know how you want it works here:

  • Tailored Creative Packs Cloud - can we choose what to bring?

    My question is: Is there a system where, for a good price, you can choose to group the Apps that you'll really need? I think that a lot more money will be if Adobe would open the door to this idea...

    Whence my doubt: I looked at the Adobe Web site for hours and could not find a package suited to my needs and pocket.

    Be a fashion designer I use Adobe products, but not to a point where I have to buy the complete package or limited by ready-made packages.

    (photography package for IE is a good example, because I need LightRoom but Photoshop that I do)

    Try to buy monthly App from the App is not yet an option due to the 5apps I need to cost a fortune (for me, private user) individually. Packages of 3, 5 or 7 apps with attractive prices would suit many professions and also of many levels of Adobe users

    My idea is: Why not create open beams where we can choose what we really need... Packages of 3, 5 or 7 apps with attractive prices would suit many professions and also of many levels of Adobe users. And maybe Adobe could even think an offer bundled with a price lower than the existing "all Apps" those but possible to include more than 7 and less than all applications... Something for their sales and marketing team to think...

    The answer is not simple. The only Cloud plans available are those shown on the Adobe Web site.

    Pricing plans and creative Cloud membership | Adobe Creative Cloud

    Custom packages were requested by some people in the past, but Adobe has never responded with something other than photography Plan.

    If you need three or more applications, your best choice is to join the plan of all Cloud applications.

  • If I have, say, 12 GB of content stored on my computer, but my iPod has a capacity of 8 GB, can I choose what content gets synchronized?

    I continue to add music to my computer library; but my iPod may only contain a part of this content. I would like to be able to periodically change the contents of the iPod. How can I select which albums on your computer get synced to iPod?

    Yes, the easiest is to synchronize the device with one or more playlists selected. Over time, you can either edit the lists themselves, or lists are synchronized, or do the smart playlists that automatically rotate content on and off the device over time. For example, you might have a size limit to more recently, added another for most recently played and a normal playlist for the most part.

  • How can I choose what E-mail should appear in the "from" field by default

    I just installed Thunderbird and triing to set how I like. When I push the button create, I see one of my email address in the form 'From '. But I would like another email to shown here by default. How can I do this?

    It would be an e-mail address?

    How many accounts e-mail that you put in place? They use POP or IMAP? You do something funky like combining them in an Inbox?

    In theory, Thunderbird will use the email address associated with the folder that you are in when you write your answer. If you are in a place like local folders, then it should use the address to which the original message was sent. If you create a new message (not answer) and then she must use the address associated with the current folder, or address by default if you are in the local folders.

    In practice, it is not always choose the address you want to use, and there are many Add-ons to help with this. Watch identity selector ID and correct for examples.

  • How to choose what syncs on your different computers

    Hi, I just transferred more of xmarks at their suggestion. I have a few questions on the synchronization works. I have two computers and an iphone I want on my network. As I understand, I've set up three names of the devices under a user name.
    However, does that mean that when I merge my files at home with my working files, the next time I sync my work computer, it will be all my favorites of the House as well? And will be both my job and my home bookmarks bogged down my iphone? On sharing bookmarks between computers? If I find a bookmark at work that I would like to move to the home computer, I can do this?
    Alternatively, remain one of the other, each synchronization registered under the name of device, all bookmarks and Favorites never see each other? How to move SOME of my favorites on the iphone or another device? In others, is there a way I can control what Favorites, passwords, etc. are moved and merged on separate computers? How would I do that?
    Thank you very much for taking the time to read my request. I hope hear from you soon and learn more about this program works!

    See this support article:

    https://support.Mozilla.com/en-us/KB/how+to+sync+Firefox+settings+between+computers#Using_Firefox_Sync_after_signing_in

    Under use my custom settings on each device, you have the option of what types of data, you want synchronized with your other devices.

       * Bookmarks
       * Passwords
       * Preferences
       * History
       * Tabs
    

    During this that synchronization can not handle specific parts or groups of data per unit, it's all or nothing. When you "sync" a category of data with the server, all that data gets downloaded - no way to specify which bits of data doesn't get downloaded. At the level of the synchronization server that the data gets merged with the data from other devices, each device so has the same data.

    IOW, if you synchronize your bookmarks, all of them will be synchronized and with the features of this option is selected. There's no way to filter the Bookmarks 'House' Bookmarks 'working '. The only way around this is to have separate Sync accounts and separate user profiles in Firefox on the PC to 'work' and 'House' of data sets; and who will probably not work on the iPhone (don't know about you, does not have an iPhone).

  • Hi there I can not choose colors in photoshop. He let me just use grey and Pentecost. someone at - he had that before?

    Hi all

    IM new to Photoshop, but did a few things with him.

    I have a problem at the point where I can not choose what color I would like to use in photoshop. I can only use gray and white.

    Any help would be great.

    JJMack is right. Most of the time this happens when you have a channel, or a selected layer mask, not a pixel layer. Open the channels Panel to see exactly what is active. The RGB channel at the top should be active. It is, you can choose colors beyond black and white. If you are on an adjustment layer, you implement a layer with pixels.
