On this topic of I?Cloud, is this something I will need to be worried about. I'm getting a 256 GB iPhone 8. I don't think I have anything to backup at this point. I use the regular gmail via the web for all my emails. I don't have outlook, thunderbird or any computer email client like that. I just never saw the need for it. I've been using my gmail set to basic HTML mode for years and it has worked fine. Thanks for any help. All these articles this list posts are proving very helpful.
