   I hope with the new Siri, we can just have a conversation with it to help us get more storage.

   16 gigs for screenshots is just not human.

   Still just about managing with 5gb. But… sometimes iCloud reports I have gone above 5gb when I haven’t so I have to turn off iCloud backup and then back on again to fix that.

   I have never paid for iCloud storage. I have Dropbox on both my iPhone and my Mac, so every photo and video I take is synced automatically to my Mac, complete with the names changed to date and time, so I know exactly when I took it. Every day, I clear the Dropbox folder on my Mac and drag the files I want to keep to a local folder that isn’t synced with Dropbox, so I never reach the limit for free Dropbox. Then I can keep or delete the files on my iPhone as I please.

    I recently decided to un-iCloud. Had over a thousand videos, over 17k photos, 4k+ screenshots 😱 and here I thought I was good at only saving my favorites 😂 still going through photos though. Moved all my files to a hardrive and soon will downgrade my iCloud plan. Something I should’ve done years ago. My greatest tip for anyone is: every time you take photos or videos, go through them right away and delete the ones you don’t want. Digital hygiene is a must-do.

    She has 2 TB of garbage saved in iCloud. I barely have 200 MB saved in one of my iClouds. I will never get to the 5 GB of iCloud on any one device. Our house has a lot of devices, but we get 5 GB of iCloud per device. We are currently rocking 65 GB of iCloud for free.

    It is not a problem because CNET pays Bridget enough to buy more iCloud.

    Can you make a video about backing up my iPad or iPhone on a SSD drive? Thanks

    We need a way to auto delete or bulk delete imessage attachments without having to select every single file to delete or without deleting the messages themselves.

    This felt like watching a video made by a boomer telling other stupid boomers how to manage basic photos and videos…

    To everyone deciding to store their files, pictures, videos, etc on DVD, NAS, hard drive, thumb drive, etc. please remember that if that media is damaged, stolen, burns up in a fire or is ruined in a flood, you’ve just lost all of that data. Most people don’t backup in such a manner that they have a second backup in some separate location in the event the primary backup is lost. Additionally, make sure the backed up data is encrypted to prevent the bad guys from seeing it if your backup media falls into the wrong hands.

    This definitely takes more than 15 minutes 😅
    My biggest issue is when I offload photos to my PC they are all out of order.

    I have 574 GB in messages in the cloud
    4.7 TB in iCloud Photos
    283 GB in iCloud Drive
    8.6 GB in Voice Memo
    3.4 GB in Notes
    And just so you know the information in this video is incorrect. From iPhone storage with Messages, what you delete there does not delete it from the cloud. That’s only what stored on the device. If you want to delete that video from the cloud you have to delete it from within the Messages app.

    What pisses me off is you go from 200gb for $5 a month to 2tb for $15. How about offering 1tb for $10.
