iCloud drive wrong size

• Alias files no synchronization in iCloud drive

  I use iCloud drive to keep all my synchronized and accessible files between my Mac and iPad.  I found that the alias files I use in the system do not appear in iCloud.com or other computers.  I use the alias feature to reduce the file size on my computer for my genealogy Articles.

  Does anyone know a way around this or what I could do wrong?

  Thank you.

  ...? How did this the size of the file downwards? Aliases are just a pointer to the original file, to remember anyway. Even if you were able to synchronize alias through with other devices, they are meaningless, unless the file is also present there and in exactly the same directory and structure under the same username as on the first computer (which will not apply on an iPad). I don't know about the specific case of iCloud and alias but another sync service do not handle their property for this purpose, so I would not be surprised to see that they have been blocked.

• Sierra of MacOS - iCloud Drive Documents & Desktop keeps Getting Stuck download

  Hello

  as stated in the header after activating the iCloud Drive to include Documents and desktop download stuck guard.

  Since almost 2 weeks I started the task mean to ask iCloud to include above mentioned files. Total quantity was about 100 GB download. I have 1 TB of storage for iCloud. iCloud is always download and always get stuck after about 10 to 30 minutes to download. Then I have to restart after that it starts to load only from getting stuck again.

  I was on the phone with Apple Care who had no idea of what might happen. They Said and I quote "we have no problem with iCloud download and your problem has not yet been recreated by others."

  I find it very hard to believe that I can repro this problem on 3 different systems.

  I have Cable speed of 400 Mbps downstream a 25mbit upstream. I have zero upstream of questions to dropbox or Spideroak at an astonishing speed. ICloud is the slowest I've ever known in my life but as I said after 14 days, it has yet to fill about 40 GB. This is ridiculous IMO.

  If anyone has any ideas on what is once again wrong with iCloud, I would of course tips

  Thanks in advance to anyone who takes the time to post!

  Try to go into System Preferences/iCloud and stop synchronization. Wait a few minutes, then recheck the timing.

  Have you tried the signature to iCloud and then reconnect?

  iCloud made only in iCloud, is usually not the part where you would hold pictures, it would be iCloud library that synchronizes your photos on your selected devices.

  With iCloud library enabled, you cannot delete a photo on a device (or iCloud.com) without deleting each device which uses iCloud photo library (iCloud.com). In order to save space on your mobile devices (and indeed your Mac if you want to) turn on the optimization of the pictures on these devices (settings > photos & camera > optimize storage on your mobile device and Photo preferences > optimize storage on your Mac)

  Dynamic optimization, it reduces the resolution of your photos, if necessary, so that you don't notice it occurring initially. However, when necessary, it is very effective, and users have reported libraries being optimized for much less than 10% of their original size in some cases. My own library is about 9% of its original on my phone size.

  In most cases, optimize your photos should be enough to alleviate space issues on your device. However, if you have an exceptionally large library you may need to disable iCloud photo library on your mobile device and use instead the photo stream. You can then use a computer to manage the photo stream photos and have them automatically imported into you iCloud photo library.

• Backup files to iCloud drive

  I ran out of space on my MacBook Pro (7.28 GB from 250 GB), and to solve my problem of storage, I leaned in iCloud drive.

  My question is if I save a file in iCloud drive does also save on the hard drive of the device that I save on?

  I did one month trial with iCould Drive 50 GB, but I do not see clear up any space... I do something wrong?

  Thanks for any help you can give!

  Yes, if you add files to iCloud by car they are stored on your hard drive, as a work around, you can disable iCloud drive and access it through your web browser to iCloud.com > iCloud Drive, it does not use your hard drive.

• ICloud drive is slow for anyone else?

  I had this problem in the last days. It all started during the July 4th weekend. I tried to add a 34 KB PDF file reader iCloud on my end 2007 27 "iMac running the most recent version of Yosemite. When I did, he began the process of synchronizing the file to iCloud (with the symbol of the cloud after the name of the file), but he never knew. All I saw was a progress bar gray who moved for hours. So, I out of the iCloud folder and tried to download it directly through iCloud.com. This time, I saw the file appear on my Finder but with the brand "always download" (a cloud with an arrow pointing down) and once more a bar of growth that does not seem to move for hours.

  Long story short, after trying all the usual steps to solve the problems with iCloud, (turn on iCloud drive in the preferences system/turn off; exiting/entering my account iCloud; as well as some yet more "BOLD" steps such as the abolition of the CloudDocs folder in my library system, quit the 'cloudd' and 'bird' processes using activity monitor) (, then rebooting my iMac), I have now several files I had stored in iCloud drive being perpetually stuck "Download". Curiously, all these files are the app third party in their library respective App except for a RTF file created using TextEdit. The files that I saved in TextEdit on iCloud synced within a reasonable (although slow to KB of size of plain text files).

  Moreover, I also reset my modem wifi and cable, but without any change in the result.

  My Console is showing many connection errors, delays in waiting, and other stuff that I don't understand not everything revolving around iCloud associated services or processes. So, I think that something is happening with iCloud himself. I read a few threads on other sites that there is a possibility that this could be a problem with sandboxing, but I have no confidence the fix that was suggested, so I hope that someone here will have some clues or tips. If it's a matter of Sandboxing, this could explain why the files are not downloaded/uploaded are third-party applications.

  Yes, a couple other posts commented on files do not download or upload to iCloud by car since nearly 30 June - 4 July.

• Can I record a .docx in iCloud drive

  Using the Word application on an iOS iPhone 5s 9.3.2,and can I create a document, edit it, then save it in iCloud drive?

  I don't see a way to do this, then, is - this impossible or am l being a bit dim?

  I want to only use the Word app because it has the Mobile view that expands text using word wrapping. I can't find a similar to the Pages app installation so that the text is too small, or I have to scroll horizontally developed text (no word wrapping?)

  If you have iCloud drive enabled on your device, you should probably be see in your stock options in your app Word. If this isn't the case, you can wrap in the pages. If you select the text box, you can then tap on the Brush tool and hosting options.

  Depending on the size of your object, with respect to the text, you are that surround it, this can interact differently. See if your resizing object does not affect the package after you have applied that pages.

• iCloud Drive creation of duplicates in the records of the App?

  I always keep all my important files to Dropbox so I can easily access it on my iMac or MacBook Pro. I decided to give iCloud drive a test drive and moved some of the folders in there because I love the idea of working completely within the Apple ecosystem. For example, I have a folder named "Taxes" that contains my current tax information and documents, Pages, and Numbers.

  The first thing that I noticed that whenever I open one of these documents, that a duplicate file is created as if by magic into a new Apple branded folder for the appropriate Application. It seems to me that this new file appear as if by magic is an exact duplicate of my original. It seems not even to be an alias, but exactly the same file that seems very redundant. A quick experiment illustrates both of these documents in double any changes made to one instantly in the other.

  Since this is my first experience with iCloud drive I must be missing something because I can't get my head around the idea of storing two identical files, whenever I open a document in TextEdit, Pages, numbers, etc.. I realize the size of most of the documents, I'm not fat, but obviously they do not count as storage times two.

  I guess I don't know even what questions to ask here that can explain why everytime I open a file in the original file a duplicate is created in Apple records.

  They are not duplicates, they are automatic aliases.

  Pretty cool huh.

• iCloud drive is empty

  I have iCloud Drive on my iPad, but it is empty. However on my Mac everything is visible on iCloud drive. In addition, my contacts on my Mac sync properly with iCloud. Both my iPad and my Mac (El Capitan) tell me that I have the latest version of the software installed. what I am doing wrong?

  Assuming that you sign in part two devices with the same Apple ID iCloud... I would say activating / deactivating then in each of the time iCloud on your iPad, or reset all the settings on your iPad to see if you can get the data to flow again.

  The iCloud on the cloud itself drive corresponds to your Mac? Are the contacts on the cloud in sync with your iPad?

• How can I fix my iCloud photo library and iCloud drive?

  I noticed that all of my devices are stuck insofar as transfer or upload photos. Then, I went iCloud.com and get an error if I try to open the Photos or iCloud drive web app. I thought that others need to be affected, but my partner has no problem using iCloud.com for photos and player itself. So there's something really wrong with mine and I have no idea how to solve this problem in addition to call Apple.

  Does anyone have experience with this?

  How many devices is stuck in download, the number of photos were downloaded and how much remains to be downloaded and how long was like that.

• Library of photos on iCloud Drive as well as Dropbox?

  Hello. Is it possible to store my library of Photos both on iCloud drive like Dropbox? I like the iCloud drive, because it automatically syncs with all my devices, and I like Dropbox, since it will be an additional backup if something goes wrong with iCloud library.

  I think correctly? Or the two options are not compatible with each other? What I have to choose one or the other?

  Thanks for any ideas, you can provide.

  There is no disk icloud - you talk about iCloud photo library I think

  As for DropBox so far that no one could think I saw or heard of the box used to back up or transfer the library because the library must be on a formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) volume and drop box is not correctly formatted

  And note that ICPL is not a backup - it's a way to share your library between multiple devices - you still need one or more local backups

• 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)
