Scope

This skill covers consumer cloud storage — the services regular people use for photos, documents, and backups.

Not this skill: AWS, Azure, S3 buckets, VPS, Docker, APIs → use infrastructure, s3, or server.

Common Confusions

What you thinkWhat's actually happening
"I deleted it from my phone and now it's gone from my laptop"Sync works as designed — one file, everywhere
"iCloud storage full but my phone has space"Phone storage ≠ iCloud storage
"My photos are duplicated everywhere"Multiple services backing up the same camera roll
"I pay for 3 cloud services"Pick one primary, cancel the rest

Storage Full — What to Do

  1. Check what's using space — Photos usually dominate
  2. Empty trash — Deleted files count until trash is emptied
  3. Disable duplicate backups — Pick one photo backup service
  4. Offload old files — Move archives to external drive

For service-specific cleanup steps, see cleanup.md.

Backup Strategy

  • 3-2-1 rule: 3 copies, 2 different media, 1 offsite
  • Cloud counts as offsite — but also keep a local backup
  • Check backup status monthly — don't assume it's working

What to back up and what NOT to store in cloud: see backup.md.

Sharing Files

NeedMethod
Quick share with anyoneLink (set expiration)
Ongoing family accessShared folder
Sensitive documentsDon't use cloud, or encrypt first

Step-by-step per service: see sharing.md.

Security Basics

  • Enable 2FA on all cloud accounts
  • Review shared links quarterly — revoke old ones
  • Don't store unencrypted: passwords, IDs, financial documents
