Backing Up Documents folder to iCloud Drive?

2020-09-26 Thread Rod Blitvich 
Hi Folks
Anything wrong with turning this on?
I think my Documents folder is 60GB and my iCould storage is 200 GB.

Can I still access my documents when not connected to wifi?

Thanks Ronni!
So now I can view all my Mac documents on my phone or iPad - that’s cool!
Do you use it?
Any pitfalls/traps?
Cheers
Blitto

Here’s a coup[le of useful links for anyone interested.
When I first turned it on i had about 60 GB in my Documents folder - this took 
many hours to upload.

Hi Blitto,

iCloud stores shadow copies of the documents in iCloud Drive in your user 
library. These documents can be edited, even with no internet access. They will 
start updating, when you get online again.  If you edit the same cloud document 
on different macs while offline, you may get a warning, that there is a 
conflict, and you will have to select, which version to keep.

The local copy of iCloud Drive is stored in the hidden folder
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mobile Documents/

Kind Regards,
Ronni

Hi Blitto,
I only store my iCloud mail as I have the minimum 5GB of iCloud Drive.
I use Dropbox for other files I need stored online as I have 8.75GB
Everything else I have numerous backups of.

I’ve never had any real issues using iCloud Drive, but there are others that 
have.
