Q: I want to love iCloud
I'm new to using iCloud, though not new to using DropBox and other cloud-based systems. But right now iCloud has me baffled. I want to keep my Documents and Download folders on all my machines updated with iCloud. But, I also want to have my machines have the files on them (as opposed to JUST in the cloud).
In other words, I want to have these folders DUPLICATED and SYNCED and existing literally on a minimum of 2 computers.
From my reading I get the impression this is NOT possible with iCloud, that if one uses iCloud there is one REAL copy of all files (online), and only what amounts to LINKS to those files on the computers. Thus if something happens to the online copies (crash/loss/etc) there is no backup copy on my computers or even on my BACKBLAZE backup of my computers.
If this is misunderstood, please set me straight. I would much appreciated it.
