How does iCloud reconcile storage vs. local storage? I'm considering upgrading my iCloud storage but I'm curious about this fictitious scenario: I have an iMac with a 1TB hard drive and I'm using 500GB of iCloud storage. I have a MacBook with a 256GB hard drive All computers are synced to iCloud 1) What happens on my MacBook considering the iCloud files exceeds the capacity of the local hard drive? 2) What if I'm using my MacBook and wish to upload some large files to iCloud, but I don't want them locally on my MacBook? But I'm fine with these large files on my iMac? (Other services might call this "selective sync") Thanks for any insight
