    APPLE: We Need Higher iCloud Storage Options!

    After multiple iPhones, iPads, Mac Laptops, etc., I am sitting at 3.8TB’s of data in my iCloud. Anyone else almost maxed their storage out? I can’t just start deleting things… the vast majority of all of my data is from pictures and videos, spread out of the last 14 years. Apple, if you’re...

    iPhone 14 Pro Max Icloud might leak private data

    Resolved Keep getting a "sign in to iCloud" msgs on new mini M2

    Photos: "Download Originals to this Mac"

    iPhone 12 Pro Max iCloud Confusion

    When I save a video or other content to my iCloud account from my iPhone, I don't see that content when I go to my iCloud directory from my Mac (to the same folder). What am I doing wrong that I don't see the same files on the Mac I shared from my iPhone on the same iCloud account? Thanks.

    Crypomator

    I’m a bit ignorant but, as I understand it, you can use this app to protect files I.e. in iCloud by creating an encrypted vault (a feature Microsoft have on their cloud storage). Does anyone use Crypomator or similar apps? If so, what do you use it for and do you have any feedback please? Thanks,
