I down load videos from my camera direct to my MacBook. They then sync to the iCloud. However, when I go back watch the video on my laptop, the physical file is no longer there and I have to re-download from the internet to view. I can never watch videos unless i am connected to the internet. How do I stop this.
MacBook Pro (2020 and later)
