Hi Gary:
If I have an iMac & MacBook and I turn on the features in iCloud, does it pull the desktop & documents from each mac? Would I then have the files from each one merged on iCloud?
I also have an iMac & MacBook with the iCloud Desktop & Documents feature turned on. Why do files show up on the MacBook's Desktop but not the iMac's Desktop?
Scott: Can't remember. It either merges or for the second Mac you enable, it puts them in a separate folder for you to figure out.
Darren: They should. Check your settings again.
what's the best way to handle this when you only have intermittent internet (e.g., on a cruise ship, without satellite internet, and only cellular data hotspot access when in port?
Michael: Nothing special you need to do. Just use your files as normal. Chances are any file you want will be available to you. But if one is not because you have "Optimize" turned on, then it will tell you and you can get access to it when you have a connection.
How does "optimizing" (or not) come into play when iCloud is either on or off?
Jim: Not sure what you mean. The “optimize” option only applies when iCloud is on.
