I thought, with the Tb allowance, I could keep all my old work copied offsite and available from all machines, but I realise now that Backblaze is the better solution for that. They grind to a halt with higher numbers of files. I'm beginning to realise that OneDrive and iCloud Drive on Mac are OK to sync a few hundred files, a few gigabytes, invisibly, in about an hour, between machines, and offer web access.

But I resent paying their fee when I am already paying for iCloud storage (2Tb) and Microsoft 365 (1Tb). It is fast, reliable, user-friendly, and shows you what's happening. iCloud Drive seems to work badly also.įor me, the benchmark is DropBox. I heard that iCloud Drive uses MS Azure on the back-end? (can anyone confirm?) If you're saying that Apple's new solution for file-sync is the problem - hiding the file system and sync-progress from users, huge cpu-burden, very slow servers - that makes sense to me.
