• iCloud drive has a power symbol in it

  The drive icon iCloud in the finder on my iMac has a electric (lightning) enter the symbol in this document, why?

  This symbol?

  

  I'm see it occasionally, if files on iCloud drive do not complete synchronization and are showing a progress bar.

  I've not seen this icon explained in a any Apple document, but it seems to indicate than iCloud drive cannot synchronize.  Usually, it will simply help restart the Mac to launch the process of iCloud again.

• What are the advantages and disadvantages of using iCloud drive (or other Cloud services) compared with iTunes game against external hard drive, Solid State etc. to store my songs iTunes, playlists, ratings etc?

  First question: what are the advantages and disadvantages of using iCloud drive (or other Cloud services) compared with iTunes Match against Solid State external hard drive etc to store my songs iTunes, playlists, ratings etc?

  Please let me know what are the alternatives for storage of my songs, playlists, song etc. other than iTunes game ratings ($ 24.99 / year)?  Is there a way to store all my songs with my song ratings, playlists, etc. with a CD song quality? Most of my (currently 130 GB) songs on my computer are CD quality that I prefer to keep as well as my notes of each song (i.e. 5 * vs. 4 * etc.), playlists, groups (music, classical, popular, country etc.).  What are the advantages and disadvantages to store my iTunes songs while CD quality with my personal notes, reading lists, groupings in the cloud?  ICloud of Apple Drive ($ 2.99 per month or $36 / year for 200 GB) would be the best way to automatically update and maintain my rankings iTunes personal including the future editions of the song etc or using Amazon, IBM, Microsoft etc cloud or an external hard drive SSD would work as well and maybe cheaper?  I currently have my iTunes on a PC of 2007 with vista (I use a 1 8T Western Digital external upward by car for my personal info all over HP, songs, photos etc. which is currently close to 170 GB) but also have an Apple i-phone 6 & I Air cushion.  Although I did not need to have all of my music with all their sides, etc. available on all of my devices at all times as iTunes game, I still would have easy access to information on both my PC and my iPhone or iPad?  Thank you.

  In my opinion?

  I back up my data to an external drive for several reasons.  The first is my data - if I put on the cloud, someone else has control over it, they can see what I have and change the preferences to what they see of marketing.

  Almost as important as that - if I had to rely on the cloud whenever I wanted to update my playlists on my phone, I need a better internet connection I have now (working at sea).  To get the best out of the cloud, you need a solid link to home, work or mobile.

  As a spin-off - I hate the fact that Apple take away a feature in their software updates and then allow an app to be sold in their store to replace this feature - or worse still, some features that were available before the updates are now "cloud only."  And Yes - you have to pay for the cloud.  I like most of the people do not appreciate the 'accomplished fact. "

  From the back of the external hard drive ASI downside, is that to be safe, you need to store outside in a separate computer place.  If keep you them together, if one is lost, probably, they are both.  That is to say for me a full backup before you travel, then a new upward as soon as I go home.  Downside is how much data may be lost between the two back ups if I needed to restore.  For me, its worth the risk.  If I was away and say had bought a ton of new music and couldn't go home anytime soon, I can always head to the store and buy a new external drive, they are massively expensive.  Even if my computer has to go for repair and my remote is to halfway around the world - I want to buy a new one.

  Now, some will say that once you buy a new external, you spend more than you would on a cloud subscription.  It's true, but in the 6 years following the purchase of Mac that I've only had to buy a new external once - so with a little luck and planning - it works.

  I left took well - I am not a subscriber of cloud, nor do I want to be.

• Some iCloud Drive Files 'Cloud '. only

  I'm curious to know if there is a way to have folders under drive iCloud "Cloud" only against them being together in the cloud and stored locally on my Mac.  I am running low on space of hard drive on my MacBook Pro and I have files that I don't want to not lose, but not to consider all that often.  To this end, I would like to pass exclusively to the Cloud (if possible), while keeping my daily files available locally, as well as on the cloud.

  I thank in advance all help!

  Thank you

  Michael

  This is not possible, Michael.

  It's all or nothing.

  You can have all the files on disc iCloud in iCloud only if you enable not iCloud Drive on your Mac and only access iCloud by car via the web interface at https://www.icloud.com, or all files is stored locally as well.

  iCloud drive shows the storage used on the files of the iBook and pica, but I can't access via iCloud Drive. Why is this? How can I solve this problem?

  on icloud drive, I have only two files that I saved from my e-mail, but I want to iCloud Drive to synchronize my files to the iBook.

• 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.

• Turn off sync to iCloud drive to specific folders?

  I have some files I've downloaded to iCloud Drive, which I rarely opened.

  I know than iCloud Drive intelligently synchronizing files that I rarely opened, but is it possible for me to:

  1. mark a specific folder in iCloud drive to not synchronize my devices? I think that this as a feature of "cold storage"?

  2 interrupt synchronization to iCloud drive everything as I interrupt iCloud Photos on Mac?

  Since I'm in an environment where the internet speed is very limited and I often uses mobile wifi (MiFi) whereby data is very expensive, so I need to manage the synchronization manually by myself. I also want to save precious space on my MacBook Pro SSD, this is why I need this feature of "cold storage" in the cloud.

  Note: This tip below might work for the interruption of synchronization, but y at - it another way to interrupt synchronization?

  How suspend you iCloud drive sync?  It is using all of my mobile data!

  My environment: 13 "2015 retina MacBook Pro installed in El Capitan, iPhone running iOS 9.3.5 6.

  Thank you.

  Right now, iCloud drive will be synchronized snapshots of documents and data from your Mac.

  macOS Sierra will bring changes to this.  See the preview.   Preview - Apple macOS

  You will be able to use "Optimize storage" for iCloud Drive and include your desktop and Documents folder in iCloud drive.  Then you can choose to keep only the document new and used recently, all the old files and data locally in the cloud.

  Get ready for the update on 20 September.

• 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.

• Once that a file is uploaded to iCloud drive remove it from my hard drive to free up space?

  I want to free up space on the hard drive of my MacBook Pro. Once I have download on iCloud can I delete from my hard drive and still maintain a file of cloud?  Another way to put it: once a file is uploaded to iCloud by car, if I remove my hard drive it will remove automatically iCloud drive?

  Thank you

  iCloud Drive is a synchronization service. If you delete a file from iCloud, it is removed from iCloud drive and vice versa.

  It is not an effective way to free up space on your MacBook.

  

• iCloud Drive storage problem--showing 167G in stock Doc when 9 G is here

  I use iCloud drive.  I have 200 G and should not have more than about 40 used G, but when I check space it shows 167 G is used in the Docs.  The problem is I do not see or have as many information Doc here.  I can't understand where the storage error.

  I met this problem before with other cloud storage systems, but there seems to be no way to talk to a tech at Apple person to understand what is happening.

• iCloud drive does not download for mac

  Hello. I got about 15 GB of videos on my mac before I wiped the whole device (formatted the SSD drive and reinstalled a clean software). Because I don't have a time capsule or an external drive if big, I backed up my most important data including videos on my iCloud drive (I have the capacity of 50 concerts). Now, the files don't download on my mac. I see the pie indicator next to my iCloud drive in the finder, but once it is full, it disappears, but my files are still not in my mac. I also tried to let the mac closed with and without power (to download in the NAP) and leaving free and its use while he was supposed to be downloading, but without success.

  When you put the video in the cloud, did you leave it long enough to download completely.

• 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 Drive - save the storage space on Mac

  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.

  Thank you

  Well this isn't

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

• Use iCloud drive of old photos, * no * app Photos

  I am trying to find a solution of 100 GB storage of photo files and video, all structured in folders, on a Macbook running El Capitan. I'd take it with an iPhone.

  I want that all the pictures to move OFF the macbook in the cloud somewhere in space. I don't want their synchronized everywhere - this is why the new Photo app does not seem to do the trick. I looked at Flickr, but will not store video files to m4a.

  I wonder if I can simply move photos/videos, in their cases, in the iCloud Drive on the Macbook? While they would be accessible and stored only in the cloud, not on my devices. I don't want to look on the Mac and the iPhone. Ideally then as I would an automated solution to copy new photos taken in the same place, where I will place the in albums/folders periodically.

  Hope it is clear and all advice welcomed.

  iCloud is a synchronization system, not an external storage system. If you delete them from the computer/device they will be deleted to iCloud. For the computer, go to preferences/Photos/iCloud and select optimize. That will reduce the space required by 90% when it is fully effective.
