It’s basically uploading from your phone to iCloud, and then synchronizing the new files from the cloud to your computer. AirDrop would probably be faster but it skips the upload to iCloud part.

I'm on gigabit everything is fast except photos syncing. Even iCloud backup of my documents is fast. Must be something wrong I'm not seeing. iPhone 7 Plus to 2016 MacBook Pro both on same home network.

It's cloud background syncing poo poo. It shows up when it shows up, if you need it immediately email it to yourself.  This is how the world works now.

I use Google Photos -- I never touch iCloud photos. If I need photo(s) from my phone for anything on my PC I open up GPhotos, tap a buttan and it's done in 15 seconds if it wasn't already done automatically.

Water resistance is now non-existent, so be careful about that. And it’s very likely you won’t be able to trade it in on any official channels when you’re done with it, so eBay or whatever if you want to get some cash when you eventually replace it. Third party back replacements will suck and last I heard, Apple charged the full device replacement price since that involves swapping the entire housing to do it right.

I've been seriously impressed with OneDrive lately. I drag a photo into a synced folder on my desktop PC, it immediately shows up on my phone, even if the desktop hasn't finished uploading it yet. Interact with it, it spins for a second or two until the upload is done, and bam, it's right there. Wish iCloud was that good for anything. Although the OneDrive desktop client is a resource hog when processing large directories.

Fascinating. I sync hundreds of gigs of RAW photos with OneDrive and have never had a corruption issue (don't worry, they are backed up elsewhere as well). I also sync VeraCrypt volumes and never had an issue there either, and even a single bit corrupted there would break the whole thing. OneDrive uses the last modified timestamp as a signal for what is newer, so if you have an application (like VeraCrypt) that prefers not to update the timestamp, you will run into issues until you change that config. It's the only issue I've had. What have your corruption issues looked like?

OneDrive is absolute garbage. My experience with it is corporate, so it’s possible my issues stem from my company’s policies/hosting/etc. if you have “too many” files, it will struggle to sync changes, which is a problem if you have any files or folders you’re updating several times a day. Files are stored on your local hard drive (if you configure it to do so), but when you open the file, it downloads the “latest” copy off OneDrive, which then overwrites your actual latest file in your hard drive, and then everything you did over the last 1-3 days is gone. It will simply not sync some files, leaving you to find it missing when you need it. Who knows how many files I have missing from when I attempted to migrate everything last year. If there is an issue preventing a file from syncing, the interface for resolving it is terrible, essentially nonexistent. It’s reduced to a pop up window in the task bar that disappears once you click on it. The other day I had 914 conflicts. I don’t remember what I did, but it certainly wasn’t the “suggested” which was to delete the file so the cloud version could download. “File already exists in OneDrive. If these files are the same, delete the local copy.” I did they for one file, which then deleted from OneDrive  I would rather pay money for Dropbox than use OneDrive for free.

A lot of the time auto save will poo poo the bed and say it can’t save for whatever reason, and they’re you have the fun game of trying to see if it’ll save anywhere and try recover your data while you still see it in front of you.

dropbox is the fastest and most reliable cloud storage service i've used but i hate that they don't offer anything cheaper than 2tb for $12/mo. i use google drive because it's the next-best one that offers smaller, cheaper plans. i use and support onedrive for work and i hate it. i tried icloud drive but files.app sucks rear end so i gave up on using it for anything except backups and photos

The only files I've ever seen issues with are Excel docs. Excel is always a pain even when the files are shared on an on premise file share. The only solutions I can offer aren't always practical, but i suggest accessing the file on the web when possible. If you have to open a file on the desktop client, make sure you're the only person accessing it at the time. Toe Rag posted:OneDrive is absolute garbage.

Maybe genius bar will fiddle with the innards of your device for free as part of the diagnostic to see if they spot something wrong? I don't imagine a DIY repair would disqualify from them trying to help you out but not sure on that.

Set up a SlickDeals alert. Amex also just ran a $40 off a purchase deal for Dropbox, too. The vouchers all stack, so you can always buy a couple at a time and just add them to your account.

If you have to put them there, make sure no one else can edit it. I'm not sure about that. If my local file has a modified today of Yesterday, 5PM, and the OneDrive file has a modified date of 4 days ago, 1PM, why would it overwrite my local file with the cloud file? It's not shared with anyone, and the cloud copy is definitely out of date. It's possible it is trying to download the cloud file, and then merge my local file changes into it (I've seen this happen with the file open; wild stuff), but given the sync issues (OneDrive cannot reliably sync more than 100,000 files; it will sit there "syncing" a 2MB file for days on end), I can no longer trust it with any files I heavily rely on. I wouldn't be complaining, except I synced twice as many files on Dropbox for years without issue. I don't want to turn this into a derail, so I'll just accept that OneDrive isn't for me, and I'll have to figure something else out. My company banned Dropbox about a year ago

I have zero issues with iCloud and it's very useful for keeping my photos and documents synced between my iPhone, iPad, and Macbook Pro. I've had genuinely no problems with the platform in several years and I'm very happy with how Apple has progressed iCloud from where it started with intuitive features and smart design.

Cloud storage doesn’t work well for large files or many files. It will generally stall out on the former and spend two days indexing the latter.

If you had a spare battery you could test if it's just the battery that's hosed. One very common thing with batteries like the SE is that you got the connector in wrong, because that's a possibility (even likely) if you're not a robot. Learning how the battery connector feels when it's connecting the right way is rather difficult and relies on your sense of touch and preferably someone showing you.

And if you try to say you're sure you've got it right you've not got it right. That fucker can take me five minutes to reconnect even when I know exactly what I'm doing. It's got a few false positions that might feel like you've got the connection right even when you don't and it'll stay down but not work. The right position is the one where you feel resistance after it "snaps" and need to push it down still.

I am attempting to move from Apple Music to Spotify and cant seem to find the answer I need online. is it possible to import a playlist from iTunes on MacOS to Spotify on MacOS? purely using a computer because this kind of function doesnt seem like it would exist within the iOS apps. There is stuff from a few years ago saying how to, but some of the options are missing now. Not at all concerned with moving over locally stored files, just the actual list of songs I have accumulated in Apple Music over to Spotify. its only about 500 songs but i would rather not have to manually hunt down each one to add to a playlist.
