Any pros and cons? Should I spend my €100/year on iCloud iso Dropbox? Or continue to combine both? Thanks for your insights! Ps, my daughters are on 1st and 2nd gen iPads as they are still young, but I like the screen time options so I think it's possible that I'll get them second hand iPhones once they've reached the right age. I'm not sure I can replace my iPhone for an Android though. I'm even contemplating on getting a cheaper laptop when my MBP dies. Major differences include the fact that not everything on your Mac can be. Syncing has some of the benefits of a backup (and the benefit of being offsite) but is not the same as a backup.
My MBP might die soon and I only use it for things I can't do on my iPhone, so no work, collaborating, etc, just saving pictures really. It is possible to sync data from a Mac to iCloud if you turn on those options (e.g., iCloud Photos, iCloud Drive including the Desktop & Documents option). You can use an iCloud drive, Dropbox or Google Drive to store it. Now that I stopped uploading my pictures to Google photos, I use Dropbox but I miss the functionalities of Google photos so I'm wondering if I should switch from Dropbox to iCloud completely. Store the copy of your backups at a place besides your work. To use Apples iCloud Drive service, open a Finder window on. I also pay 1 euro a month to back up my iPhone on iCloud and within a few years I'd add my daughters probably. If youre transferring files between Macs, then chances are you already have an iCloud account. I've been paying for 2tb on Dropbox and it serves as a back up for all my data on my MBP.

Now that I can't use Google photos anymore (they gave me three weeks until they expect it to be full ?) I'm reconsidering my backup options. Tick (check) the box beside iCloud Photos if it. Click on Photos > Preferences in the menu. I used to backup my photos on Google photos for easy sharing, but I would always download them on my MBP and only sync back favourites to save space on my iPhone. You can set up iCloud Photo Library in the Photos app on your Mac. I just read this article but I'm still unsure what to do.
