I find that Western digital drives last an average of 18 months so I have
switched to Seagate drives for backing up files.

One thing I will say about this iCloud thing. I initiated the move of this 59
gB folder and it’s taking forever to even begin. I realize moving 59GB,
essentially downloading it, will take a long time. But it’s amazing that it’s
still saying “Preparing to move…” after at least fifteen minutes.
I’ve decided to move the 59GB video collection to my Mac desktop. That should
take it out of iCloud Drive and free up Windows disk space. If I want to see a
particular portion of this video collection on my phone, I’ll move that
particular portion temporarily back into iCloud, watch it and the
You can make them online only on the Mac side, but I’m not completely sure on
the Windows side when it comes to iCloud. Dropbox you can make online only and
that works on both OS’s.

Let me make the iCloud thing a little clearer. I made an iCloud Drive shortcut
on my Win10 machine as I said. It turns out that I placed a huge collection of
video files in iCloud Drive because I thought I might want to watch them on my
iPhone at some point. I guess I’ll move them to DB and u
If they’re uploading, then yeah they won’t appear yet on all devices.
If they’re online only, then I think they will default to that on all devices.
But I’m pretty sure you could opt to download them on a particular device
without downloading them on all devices.
Not sure what you mean about iC
One more question. What about iCloud Drive? I decided to make a shortcut on
my Windows 10 machine so that files stored in iCloud could easily find their
way to the dark side when needed.:). is there a way to make them online only at
least from the Win10 machine’s point of view?
Thanks,
Kevin
Thanks Brandon. As I write this, some of the files are still populating across
machines. That is, I can see them on the Windows machine but not on my Mac.
That suggests that they are not yet fully uploaded. I’m guessing that I’ll see
them on the Mac when they’ve made it all the way up to DB
Yes, I do it all the time to save space. Just mark the folder as online only
and everything under it should be marked and removed from the disk.

I assume that making Dropbox files online only decreases your local disk
consumption. I further imagine that if you make a top level folder online only
it should make all the subfolders within it online as well. Is that true? Do
I have to go in and check Make Online only for each subfolder?

Yes, exactly, and there are good reviews available online so you can
choose an appropriate product. You could start wi
SSD are better of course and you can find pretty good deals on amazon.
It really depends on how many back ups you want to save on that drive,
and of couse the amount of storage space you need. You can find a 4 tb
ssd external on amazon for 220 to 260.

I have a Seagate Drive, and have never had any trouble with it.

Definitely SSD. I use Western Digital spin drives but when the
budget allows it, I will likely get the same brand for SSD.

Hi!
Any drive I think should work.
SSD drives are more expensive so I would for the economy go for a mechanical
drive.

Guys,
You may see this note on several lists. My wife has a Western digital
mechanical drive she uses for Time Machine. The last time she fired it up, we
had a bit of a panic as it failed to be recognized or mount initially. While
the drive did eventually present itself in Finder and do its

This is a bit complicated, but I think you need to open your mailboxes to
expose those junk folders.
When you are in the list of mailboxes, interact with VO+shift+downarrow.
Then you move up/down the list using VO+up arrow or down arrow.
When you reach something like “on my Mac” or the nam
I’m looking for suggestions as how to re-establish access to my “Junk” folders.
I am running the most recent version of MacOS (whatever that may be) on a Mac
Mini (2014).
Until about 2 weeks ago, I was able to peruse the “Junk” folders for both my
iCloud and gmail accounts. I have no idea wha
