YES!! Exactly what I'm hoping for — there really is no reason for iCloud Drive to be such a miserable, limited mess...Maybe now they'll make iCloud Drive a serious competitor to Dropbox/OneDrive

You're right, but you gotta be able to change with the times...The biggest difference with iCloud vs these other services — iCloud has historically been bundled with hardware. You buy the hardware, and get these convenient services to make them "just work".
Apple has a hardware-first business model.
Dropbox and similar services are a service-first business, designed to work with an array of hardware vendors (Macs, PCs, tablets, phones).
Me either.There's a saying with technology ... the problem is often between the chair and the keyboard.

I've personally never lost anything in over 22 years with Apple's cloud services ... through .Mac to MobileMe to iCloud. All contacts, bookmarks, files, mail ... smooth transition every time.
Nice, but it doesn’t mean there has never been trouble on Apple’s side of things. I’ve mostly been fine but lost PDFs synced to iCloud a bunch of years ago. I'm certain it wasn't on my end as it happened again when I tried a second time to see if it was a one time occurrence. It wasn't. I didn't bother using for some time and I think it got fixed eventually (was in contact with Apple support and everything).There's a saying with technology ... the problem is often between the chair and the keyboard.

You forgot emojis.Apple could have so many “wins” by improving the everyday applications, but instead they make dynamic islands, MR goggles, iOSsify macOS, try to measure blood pressure (might actually be useful when using their software).
That'd all be fine if Apple did not charge for their services. But they do, so Apple should be pillared for their badly executed services.The biggest difference with iCloud vs these other services — iCloud has historically been bundled with hardware.

I almost included Animojis, but then thought that would be a too cheap shot.You forgot emojis.

The day a company puts their name on it, they own it. No excuses, no blaming, they own it for the good or bad. In the case of iTunes, Apple owned the bad.What's funny is this Jeff guy and people know that iTunes was not created by Apple it was actually an existing piece of software that was purchased and then built from that that's typically what Apple does. They find a third-party that has a good product and they figured out how they can build on top of that so I wouldn't say he created iTunes unless the name counts.
Yes, I agree. 2TB is not cutting it anymore. Especially with ProRAW images. We need 4TB, 6TB options, please.New arrival, please add a tier above 2TB for families.
Maybe they don't like the direction Apple wants to take iCloud so leave to avoid being attached to it potential destination. I'll leave it at that.
The more people leave that have Eddy Cue as their supervisor, the more I think he should be fired. This guy is overrated AF and just wants to be in the spotlight. Apple should finally get rid of him already.
Yeah, I'm fully invested in iPhone/iPad (and do own a mac, but spend very little time on it), but my daily driver will probably always be a windows or linux device because...that's what's used overwhelmingly in business.Hopefully, the new person in charge can bring 💭 imessages to ☁️ iCloud online. It needs to be expediated.
It has nothing to do with that. I usually lose stuff when iCloud transitions to a new version, or when an old macOS/iOS interacts with the new iCloud architecture, and it usually happens with Notes.There's a saying with technology ... the problem is often between the chair and the keyboard.
I hear you. What a piece-of-crap decision that was.… soft-fire whoever decided to make the Ventura settings menu look like an iPhone…
