    iCloud Sharing 50GB iCloud storage?

    When was the ability to share iCloud storage for the 50GB tier introduced? Is it part of the iOS 15/iCloud+ improvements? I only use about 30GB and my son needs about 6GB, so I was reluctant to either him 50GB, but it seems that it can now be shared. I did not see this documented anywhere.

    Review Confirmed Photos Showing Old Photos No Longer in iCloud

    Photos > Albums > People > Person > Review Confirmed Photos Not only are the photos on my device (iCloud) showing up, but also old photos that have long been deleted from iCloud. Does Apple save these thumbnails even after the original photos are deleted?

    I'm on iOS14, so this morning when i click into iCloud settings, it prompts me to agree to new terms. Anyone here getting the same prompt? Any idea what's the difference? Could it be related to CSAM as iOS15 release today?

    Today I got messages on multiple devices (iPhone 12ProMax, iMac, iPad) about "new icloud signon" on a device (iPhone 5S) that was POWERED DOWN.

    Other The nonsense of local storage

    We now have 1 TB iPhones but we still don’t have the option to store all iCloud files locally, you have to literally click on each file to download it. Am I the only one to find it ridiculous?

    Hi all, I have, as are we all, looking into encrypted vaults that can't be cracked for iCloud. I can create a 256-bit AES encryption DMG disk image or use Cryptomator or such. Any thoughts would be much welcome.

    Considering moving back to Apple Photos and using NAS as a backup

    Years ago I used iPhoto for my images and really liked it. Then Apple ditched it in favour of the Photos app. I hated it and so moved away from it opting to use my Synology NAS to store all my images. It has software called Moments that works a bit like Photos and allows me to use my NAS as a...
