![]() ![]() The following is from this Apple document: iCloud: iCloud storage and backup overview That storage is entirely separate than the iCloud Drive. So my frustration is that I am paying $20 a month for the larger storage and can't use it to back up my files. When I updated my storage to 1 TB a few months ago there was no indication that these limitations existed. If I have a 1TB cloud account I would like to use it like any other external hard drive without limitations on file size and I am hoping that Apple won't throttle the maximum number of files uploaded per day or per hour as other cloud services do. I hope that Apple has plans to remove the file size limitation very soon. So, after spending all this money for extra 1 TB storage it looks like I can't even use it to back up my iPhoto library or my iTunes library. Then when I disabled icloud Drive on my Mac and tried to upload to the drive through the web I ran into the 15 gig max file size limit. My file is 166 Gig so in order to back it up I would need equivalent free space on my local drive. I wanted to back up my iPhoto library from external drive to the Cloud and it said I didn't have enough room. It is working like Dropbox but there is no way to do a selective sync. The free space on the drive is the same as the free space on my local computer hard drive. My first impressions of iCloud drive are not good. ![]() I recently updated my iCloud storage to 1 TB in anticipation of making better use of it once the new Yosemite OS was released.
