ICloud Drive lets you open, edit, and sync documents and files across devices. (More information is available here.)Īpple’s macOS will automatically save files saved to your Desktop and Documents folders to iCloud, making these files available across all your devices. That’s useful but will eat into your online drive capacity, particularly as (at 5GB) Apple still doesn’t provide sufficient free drive space. ICloud Drive is automatically set up on any current Apple device running the latest operating system. The Mac you activate last will create its own folder for the contents of its Documents and Desktop, and this will also sync.
If you use iCloud Drive across multiple Macs then changes made to the Documents and Desktop files on both Macs will sync.
