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 and confusion of local storage

    I'm quite confused on iCloud drive works. I had assumed that it could be used like any other option storage file, for example a connected locally external hard drive. But apparently not exactly. Here is my request:

    I have a huge (hundreds of gigabytes) Aperture library. Since it is much larger than the storage available on the SSD in my Macbook Pro, I have it on a classic 1.5 TB external harddrive. But I want to save the library to a cloud off-site storage site so that if my house burns down, accidents of HD or someone steals, I have not lost anything. But as I copy files from my drive hard external to iCloud my internal SSD drive fills up completely and the backup finishes. It's a mystery to my as to why iCloud drive isn't teated by OS X like any other volume "attached" to which I can copy or download local files.

    My first question, then, is it really how it is supposed to work? If so, my second question is: can someone explain the logic behind this behavior? My last question is: is there some way that I can install iCloud drive on both , my external hard drive and my drive internal, but both have the same account iCloud?

    Thanks in advance for all advice and counsel.

    iCloud is a synchronization system, not an external storage system. If you delete them from the computer/device they will be deleted to iCloud. The files are stored locally on your hard drive that you have discovered.

    I can't explain the logic, but this is how it works.

    Send feedback to Apple. They will not respond, but at least know that there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it can become the problem solved as soon as possible.

  • iCloud photo library and the problems of local storage of iOS

    I have iCloud library lit with iPhone active storage optimization. However, I still have more than 1 GB of space being taken up locally on my iOS. If all my photos that I take on iOS are automatically sent to iCloud for storing, why is there such a big mark always on my phone locally? If I try to remove my iOS device photos, I am prompted with a message indicating that this photo is deleted from all devices and iCloud. Is it possible to have all your photos sent to iCloud and then removed from your iOS device?

    You need to keep them on the device, or they will be deleted to iCloud. Optimization occurs according to the needs, not all at once.

    iCloud drive holds shadow copies of all the files on your Mac so you can always access your documents, even in offline mode. It is supposed to keep your documents synced to your devices, not as only an off-site storage to save space on the mac.

    You can't stop the shadow - on iCloud drive all files will be downloaded to your Mac, if you enable iCloud drive.

    If you want to iCloud drive as an external storage without the shadow, don't turn on your Mac, but only use the web interface at www.iCloud.com to download and view the documents there. But then you will not be able to see iCloud drive as a drive in the Finder.

  • What happens if your storage iCloud drive is greater than your storage unit? It will fill your iphone or iPad?

    I've updated the plan of 250 GB. I am about to transition about 60 GB in front of another cloud provider, who will be my total storage to 100 GB.

    ICloud Drive on my iphone 64 GB and ipad automatically try and synchronize all of these files? Is it possible to stop the application to do this - i.e. be selective around folders synchronized to your ios devices?

    See you soon

    Glynne

    iCloud is a servcie synchronization switch.

    All that is stored in your folder on the drive on your PC icloud is synchronized to your device. To be selective about your synchronization, monitor which is stored in this folder.

  • What is stored in iCloud under settings-iCloud-storage-storage management?

    Under settings-iCloud-storage-storage management if I press my backup I gives me the option to select/deselect apps. What is this back to the top of the application itself or the data used by the application, or both? I ask because it says "Select the DATA you want to save".

    is it possible to save space on my iMac with iCloud drive? For example, if I wanted to save all my pictures on iCloud drive but do not waste space on my mac hard drive, is this possible? I can have not only in cloud storage and not my Mac? I see no point to buy loads of space on iCloud and your iMac will not be able to accommodate it.

    Well this isn't

    You'd be better served with a different service, try DropBox or one of its imitators.

    You just need to install a driver, Intel Matrix Storage Manager.
    As the name said it s an Intel driver and can be found on the Intel page or you can download it from the European driver Toshiba page too.
    Check your area driver books and search for storage manager or package of robson.

    I recommend also to search in this forum for similar discussions on Intel Matrix Storage Manager Driver.

  • HP update: Intel Matrix Storage Manager Driver Update runs continuously

    I have an elite m9340F.

    Has started to run the HP update today. He said she intends to eight 8 updates to apply.

    The first two seemed to go OK (HP Update - update of safety and RealTek HD Audio Driver.

    Problem: The update of the Intel Matrix Storage Manager driver worked for more than an hour. It is running and CPU utilization... the HP Update UI is unresponsive and does not have a Cancel option.

    I'd normally kill the process using Task Manager - but I'm worried because it's my hard drives.

    Any advice?

    Thank you, Mister-Do...

    I was worried for the update that was going to kill (I killed him after two hours) because I could see that the update of the Storage Manager was still running.

    Finally, I killed the HP update process using the Task Manager.

    I think that the problem was related... permissions when I tried to install the update even initially your URL, it has not yet - but - when I recorded the same .exe on the desktop and then it ran using 'run as administrator' - it worked!

    So, thank you very much.
