So I have my little Apple-verse (Mac Pro, Mac Book Pro and iPhone) and have been fairly happy to let Apple set-and-forget it with regards to the photo streams (photo and video). But recently I notice that there are files that just aren't syncing down to my Macs. I like to have local copies that are locally backed up (especially since I only have the free iCloud storage limit).
Firstly the videos don't seem to be downloading from the cloud. I can see them on the phone (although it seems to be streaming many of the videos now, not just local storage) but they never even seem to attempt to download on the Macs.
I have them both set to download photos and video in the new Pictures App and the only other option I have would be to sync all my Mac photo library to iCloud (just over 238GB so that means I have to pay Apple $10 a month for their 1TB service.
Any thoughts?
