Why is iCloud so terrible?
I've grown to really hate iCloud. I got this great Mac with a i7 and 16 gig, but the onboard storage is so slim, it can barely hold a few apps with only a handful of files for them. I get that the idea is to buy a monthly subscription to iCloud (which I did), but then iCloud becomes spotty, you never know what's getting stored and when, and when you want to look through files that seem to be on your computer, the thumbnail goes away and you have to download each file to see what they are.
Is there some way to set up iCloud to be more specific? All I get when I manage storage is desktop as an "automatic" file storage option, and even that stores at random. I mean this thing was close to 3k$ and I have to use an external drive AND the iCloud and I STILL can't keep it from constantly filling up and getting "scratch disk full" errors.
It's incredibly frustrating!
Or, hey, can I upgrade the hard drive on this thing??
