Makradar Technologies / / December 19, 2019
Recently there are many different "cloud" storage with its pluses and minuses. Among the most popular: Dropbox, Yandex. Drive, Google Drive, SkyDrive, and even a "cloud" of mobile operator Megaphone. And, of course, the notorious "cloud" of Apple - iCloud, which is very different from those of your competitors, and is available only to users of iOS and Mac OS. But what if you want a functional as our competitors? There is a solution - iClouDrive.
Unfortunately, due to severe restrictions on the Apple side, the synchronization only between your Mac can occur. iOS support is not in the near future is not expected. Nevertheless, if you have at least two devices running on Mac OS (such as home and work), any files can be synchronized between them, using their space in iCloud.
Everything works just as well, as in the case of, for example, Dropbox: download the app and when running will agree to the license agreement. After that, the program will offer to create a new folder in which both are synced files. By default, it appears in the user's home directory, but if you want to create it in a different location, press and hold the Option key (⌥) by clicking on the "Enable iClouDrive" button.
The new folder will appear in your home directory, if you do not change the path. All that remains to do - is to put your files into it. After synchronization, the second computer with iClouDrive everything will be in the same folder that you put on the ground.
Yes, due to lack of support for iOS and small enough volume from the Apple Disk (5 GB free), this option does not synchronize data suitable for everyone. But if you do not have a lot of data and you do not want to start a new account with other services, and to use the already available space, it is worth paying attention to this utility.
