Nathan Parker Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 Since I’m already paying $10/month for iCloud+ to store my photos in iCloud and use HomeKit, I’ve also been storing my files in iCloud Drive. However, I’ve noticed recently that on my iMac Pro (running Ventura), that numerous times iCloud isn’t fully syncing changes to my iCloud Drive. Folders will display a label under them saying “Waiting to Upload”. I have to copy the folder to another non-iCloud location, delete the folder in iCloud Drive, then re-add the folder to iCloud Drive to re-sync the folder with iCloud. If it’s a folder with large files, that gets a little painful to re-upload. I’ve noticed this generally occurs when I have an internet hiccup (which seems to occur off and on here since someone keeps cutting a fiber cable that feeds the Internet backbone going into my city). I’m wondering if I should stick with iCloud Drive for syncing files or look into something else. I’m also about to get a Windows PC and will likely need to sync files between my Mac and Windows PC (although iCloud for Windows is an option). What cloud file syncing are many of you Accordance users using? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dandennison Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 I use both Google Drive and iCloud (the latter which ironically uses Google Cloud Storage) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan Parker Posted February 15 Author Share Posted February 15 Thanks! If I needed more Google Cloud Storage, would I just need a Google One plan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Hall Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 I have used several. I used to use Dropbox for everything, but have started de-emphasizing it as I didn't want to pay. My Church has MS Office 365 so which comes with One Drive. I use this for all church related files (including my Accordance Sessions). Personally my wife and I signed up for Apple One a year or so ago which comes with 200 gigs. I have been transitioning onto it from Dropbox. At one time I also used Box, but that was never a main clooud for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Google One applies to the Workspace and Photos products (think Gmail, Google Drive, Google Apps, Google Photos) Google Cloud is a different thing entirely: https://cloud.google.com/storage/pricing -- You get 5GB/free. Beyond that: 2 cents per GB per month for standard storage. For files you don't touch much it can be as cheap as 0.12 cents per month per GB. Different parts of the world may be higher. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
