It appears Apple is moving toward a file-less management system. Apps will be managing files in their future.
I do not agree with this. But this is probably why they dont' care about the Finder details.
Look..like millions of other "computer users, designers and programmers" ...I only want certain files...named in a certain way....in certain places on a desktop or in folders. I don't like apps to make copies of music or photos and reference to other hidden places on the drive...using up twice the space.
I like my drives loaded on my desktop. I love to to name those drives and back up certain folders on certain drives! (don't get me started on Time Machine) If I need to backup a folder -it's called "Click, Drag and Replace!"
I "get it" with iOS devices..and I understand iCloud with instant sync. It's can be very handy and cool.....however..even while live sync to everything seems great..when something like your calendars and contacts get screwed..ALL your devices are screwed instantaneously. There is no backup in the cloud.
MobileMe was brilliant because you could "UP" sync when YOU WANTED and know that if something went wrong..you could count on another device to have a good copy. AND really...c'mon I don't need instant syncing....I can do that once a day....or even once a week is fine. But depending on cloud to keep an archive or thinking it's going to save you from data damage.... is like believing that the republican party is going to help the poor or working class...ever!
The problem with storage spaces like GoogleDrive is that it uses it's own folder..and you have to drag COPIES of your music, photos and files into their folder to sync up. DOUBLING YOUR DISK SPACE.
So far my assessment of using iCloud and/or syncing docs live just doesn't work if you depend on using that space as a backup.
It's never a backup.
Well..ok that was my rant on Finder changes!
..and remember folks...everything is interconnected and one change always affects another.
