Hey all ... I just got a new base model MacBook Pro 13" with 128GB storage. This is an upgrade from my old MacBook Air 2012 256GB model.
I have approx 180GB of files that I always need access to. Obviously, all this cannot fit on the new MacBook Pro as I have around 35GB free after all my software is installed.
So I'm looking for advice on the best way to access my files. I have a 1TB hdd with a backup of everything. I also have unlimited Google Drive space, and the 200GB iCloud plan. I can see all my files in iCloud on the new MacBook Pro (no local storage of any files) and can also see everything on the hdd.
Has anyone any advice on the best way to organise things? I'm ok using the hdd and/or iCloud with no local storage, but I have to admit it's a bit weird looking at the iCloud folder and having to be online to access my files. I also like to have all my files organised in a certain way on my desktop which I now can't do in iCloud (or can I?). And finally, I don't think think I'll need Time Machine backups ... can you even backup iCloud to TM or is there even any point?
Any advice and suggestions welcomed.
