I keep my TV media on an external drive. Recently added videos have been added to my internal drive. How can I fisx that? I keep my TV media on an external drive. I have been adding videos, without any problem since I bought my MacBook Pro in February 2023. Since September 20, however, the videos that I have added have been, incorrectly added to the TV Media Folder on my internal disk. How can I fix this and prevent it from happening again?

Can iMovie Libraries be safely stored on iCloud Drive So, I'm trying to finally make some sense of my iMovie Libraries. I'm also trying to organize them (see previous question) and favorite them successfully and just emerge with something that makes sense and is not unorganized chaos. But I've got three laptops and a bunch of legacy iMovie Libraries. One is running Mojave (I cannot upgrade because I need it for 32-bit VST/AU plugins and for 32-bit music apps), the others are running macOS Ventura and macOS Monterey. Would the best solution be to store the iMovie Libraries generated with all of these devices, on iCloud Drive, so that they'd be easily accessible to me on all devices? Will I run into compatibility issues between Mojave / Monterey / Ventura? I'd prefer to continue my work on all devices, since they all have different files and I cannot sync them easily. In fact, I wish there was an easier way of sorting and organizing files, something more Apple-like, because my files are all over the place on USB-sticks, external harddrives, SD-cards, iCloud Drive and elsewhere. So just the basic question is, are iMovie Libraries safe on iCloud Drive? Or will they be unusable after saving them to iCloud Drive - i.e. do I risk dataloss?

External drive files in icloud using SSD space I have an external drive that I store all my video files, which currently is almost 700gb. I have a folder on iCloud Drive to hold all the videos so they are accessible by my other devices. I recently dragged and dropped several hundred GB of video files from the external drive folder to the same folder on iCloud and that is when I noticed the space on my internal SSD getting smaller and smaller as the files were uploaded to iCloud drive. So now I have my original videos on my external drive and somewhere on the internal SSD as well as icloud. My goal is to only have the original on the external drive and copies in iCloud drive. Is this solvable?

What exactly are you wanting to do? There are default folders for Documents, pictures, movies and and other you set up.

You can save the files into any folder on any drive you choose. If you have iCloud Drive active and are using it, files will be stored on the cloud with copies locally. You can select what you wish to include. iCloud Drive is an interactive service, not a backup solution.

Again, what exactly do you want to do?
