Ok. Since macs ship with such a small amount of memory, I was going to use an external drive to store my 300gb of videos, 500gb of photos and purchased movies.
MacOS is about experience, so I want things like this to work when I click their corresponding icons in the sidebar of finder, and also make sure the Mac defaults to sending items to the correct location. In windows you can change the path and it will even move the files for you, in a Mac it’s a case of aliases. Also there’s iPhone backups which can be 200gb, this seems easier to do but still, it’s all about keeping it neat and close to the way it was designed
