I’d be much, much happier with the weird situation where one part of the system says it’s full, while another says there is 5Gb free if I was constantly being shown error messages. In that case, it’d just be a bug with the amount of space being shown in some places, I’d know I was really<\/em> out of space and I’d upgrade.<\/p>\n

No, it’s the silent failure and the fact that a file that seems<\/em> to be synced with no errors, but actually isn’t that is so troubling. Unless something really major changes, I don’t think I’ll ever be able to trust iCloud Drive with my critical files.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

Something to consider if you’re thinking of switching from Dropbox.<\/p>\n\n

Git repos stores in iCloud Drive die a horrible death if you try to actually interact with them.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

I’ve tried moving a Git repo into iCloud Drive. It spun for a while, then flat out stopped syncing everything on the Mac after that. Such is a feature instead of a product, eh?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

I can see my document in iCloud Drive but every time I try to recover it, I get a “Download Error”. SO UNRELIABLE.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n
