Using iCloud for other files storage

Hello

I bought an extra storage in the hope that I can save files other than those created by Apple applications. In particular, I want to back up all my photos that are currently managed by Photoshop, as I am a passionate photographer. I fight to see how I can use iCloud for anything other than files created by Apple apps.

Anyone know if this is possible?

Thank you very much.

No, it is not possible. You can use iCloud for storing photos using the Photos app and iCloud photo library:

To save your photos in a Cloud Computing service, you need to use Dropbox or similar cloud service.

See you soon,.

  • Can I use iCloud for storing photo backup?

    Hello everyone, I was wondering if it is possible to use iCloud as photo backup storage. I have a lot of pictures on my OS 10.7.5 and save them on the cloud. Is this possible? is it possible even with an older version of iPhoto?

    Thank you friends mac colleagues.

    No iCloud by itself. You can save the images on iCloud drive, but then they are just images randomly without structure, unless save you them in a kind of files that will help you organize them in the drive.

    If you want to archive and save photos, you should be import on your computer, or you must use a Cloud service of archiving such as Dropbox or Google Photos. It is the only way to store your photos.

    Good luck

  • I can't use iCloud for backup of data from third-party applications

    I use an iPod touch 6th generation and I wanted to use iCloud for backup of Twitter, IG, Pinterest etc. I've tried searching steps. So far I've been finding the same set of instructions:

    Settings > iCloud > storage > select your iDevice > turn on apps you want to iCloud to save

    But after clicking on the storage, I don't see that 'manage storage' and below, the option 'change of Plan '. Why does my iPod not not the option choose iDevice? I can see the option to save the data of integrated applications, but not applications, third-party. My iCloud that unit is on but my Photos under icloud is disabled. I really need the extra space. What seems to be the problem?

    Click Manage store (settings > iCloud > storage > Storage manage and you see what moves backup iCloud storage.)

  • using iCloud for photos

    Decided that I would try using iCloud for synchronization of photos to all my devices - ipad and iPhone.  A simple and way big to keep all the features of update of the sounds.  I followed all the directions for setting this up and find that this more complicated that we shouldn't.  I finally got some pictures in the library iCloud for my computer, but of course they do not appear on the iphone or iPad.  I apparently won't implement the iphone or the ipad properly.  I think I tried everything I could find on this operation, but nothing works. For some reason when on the iPad and try to access the iCloud.com with Safari, I get the message that the server is not responding.  When you do the same thing on the iPhone, it connects but it takes me to a window that says "Setup iCloud on this device."  Seems weird like iCloud is already on this currency.   Bottom line is that I spent hours too much try to do the job as well as to purchase more space icloud. I might have to overcome my 8 year old grandson to help me.

    Yyou don't use iCloud.com to display your photos on your iPad and your phone, you use the Photos app with iCloud library active, just like the photos on your Mac.

  • How to use iCloud for PC without an iOS device?

    I received an invitation to join a place to share photos of iCloud.  I'm not an Apple user, do not have an iOS device (or plan in the near future).

    I've created an Apple ID iCloud and have iCloud account.  I downloaded and installed iCloud for Windows on my PC.  However when I try to run the program and enter my Apple ID and password to connect, I get the following message:

    Unable to connect

    Your identifier Apple must serve to iCloud on an OS X device or an iOS to install before you can use iCloud for Windows.

    Is this to say that I can't access the iCloud photo sharing subscription since I did not have an iOS device to set up my account?  ICloud photos can be shared with users who have an iOS device to that?

    Thanks in advance.

    You can create an Apple on a Windows PC ID, but you cannot create an iCloud account - it is a separate additional process and unless you've been able to create one on a Mac or iOS device you don't have an iCloud account, only an Apple ID. This is why the error message you see.

    iCloud accounts are essentially positioned as a way for Mac/iOS users synchronize data from their devices and are a free service at the Starter level; the control panel is intended for users of Mac/iOS, which also happens to have a Windows PC. They are not intended for Windows users only. Unless you can find a way to set up a device to iCloud on a Mac or an iOS device, you will not be able to move forward.

    iCloud sharing photos can be configured as a public or private - the first are directly accessible in any web browser, but private sharing requires you to have iCloud account. If your source is not willing to set up a public share (that would be accessible to the world in general) you will not be able to access it without an iCloud account.

    I get a message that says that I don't have enough storage on my iPad to download an app, but I have a lot of storage on iCloud how to use that.

    storage iCloud is for your backups, to be able to download an application (or other), you need space on the real iPad (historically, you need usually about twice by an application size to be able to download and install it).

  • How the practice is to use iCloud for storage with a new MacBook Air documents

    I currently have almost 500gig in documents on my macbookpro 2012.  Thinking of getting a new MacBook Air. For storage, I need to iCloud or a external hard drive. Don't want to carry a second piece of equipment, so I think almost any movement to the cloud. It's convenient.  Safe?

    Simply store your 500 GB of documents in iCloud is a space-saving convenience and sharing between or on your Mac (s). It is not a backup strategy because Apple does not archive the user data stored in iCloud. External, 2 TB USB3 drive will fit in the Palm of your hand, weighs almost nothing and ensures that Time Machine is to backup your user data wherever you are. It is the solution that I use with my MacBook Air to 2014, even when sitting in a coffee shop (and using VPN for security). Time Machine also captures Users/yourname/Library/Mobile Documents, which is your application compatible iCloud files and documents.

    As well as a Time Machine backup of this 500 GB of documents, I would like to put them on another external drive that goes on the plateau to ensure the guard. Sometimes external drives completely fail without warning, including two Time Machine disks that happened to me over the past four years.

    If you choose to use another non-Apple Cloud service, read the fine print on this autonomy of providers to transfer data between international servers, and your rights under foreign laws and safety distance will always give you access to your data.

  • Variables of text for other file Formats?

    Hey,.

    I was wondering if there was a way to load text variables of, say, a text file or XML file instead of an InDesign file.

    What I want to accomplish is to create 5 versions of a catalog, with the only difference being the setting of prices for each product.

    Ideally, I would like to have a text, Excel or XML file containing a price for each product, and I just load different files with variables for different catalogs.

    I thought I could use for this text Variables, but it seems to me that the only way to load them into InDesign is manually, each of them; and with 600 + products in the catalogue, it's doesn't sound too pleasant.

    Is there a way to accomplish what I want?

    Thank you.

    as far as I know, there is no way of actually importing text variables - they must be entered manually.

    need to learn more about the catalog and how it is set up for the moment.

    have you considered using diapers for the base and 5 different sets of prices? his lazy, but once the prices are set up for a variety (over the course of a text that flows over data that refers to) the layer could be duplicated and the second price variety is inserted, etc.?

    for me, it would depend on how the project is at the moment (e.g. all finished but now go anywhere as text variables don't work; or still on the drawing board) because if the doc does not for the moment, implementation of the document using XML data may be the way to go If you are familiar with the long documents and XML I found that it is learning steep curve that, it all works takes me forever to make it work.

    have you thought to other plug-ins that make the catalogs using indesign, like emcatalog, cacidi livemerge, easycatalogCS or other?

  • Does anyone use iCloud for everything?

    Does anyone use iCloud as your main service (i.e. for synchronization, documents of cloud and primary email address)? I mainly use it as my primary service, but finds that she has its drawbacks, especially when it comes to Mail and web messaging on icloud.com - it is a bit old and lack of functionality.

    Wonder if anyone has experiences and possible suggestions to fix/improve the service?

    I use my account for all iCloud. It is my main email account, iMessage account, allows you to synchronize my calendars, is my main calendar, synchronize and stores my contacts, contains most of my personal documents (although I also use the box, Dropbox and OneDrive).

    I had no problems with it. What features Miss do you? I rarely use iCloud.com. I mainly go there through the apps on my iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch and Mac.
