This is a really nice setup! I think I'm going to try something along these lines. Thanks for the video.

Carl you're the man! Been following you since 2017! I rewatch several of you're videos every year as I touch up and refine my systems!

[filsmartins]

Carl thank for that first tip of the default folder, that was really helpful! As for the rest of the video, thank you as well, it really motivated me to organize my iCloud Drive

[VegasGuy]

Great organization here. I use iCloud as my real-time backup. And as such I had forgotten how useful tags could be. This was a great reminder to use tags!

[zaidhakim]

I love this, so simple yet useful. I will be using tags for my folders now! At the moment I am using it just for the individual files

[HeyNoah]

This is great! Really nice simple setup, and finally it's nice to see a great use of tags in Mac!

[utnietje]

Just found your video, and I also learned some new things. Thanks for this. I am busy to make a business sheet/program. I copy this from excel but I like Numbers better. So if you are planning to do a video about Numbers with explaining some formula I defenetly watch that.

Tks! How you configure Google Drive with iCloud files?

Hi,
I’m using iCloud to sync my MacBook air with my Mac mini.

I usually have a preferred random way to organize my files inside a folder which is not alphabetically organized nor by date.

When I organize my files this way in one mac they don’t appear in the same order in the other mac.

Is there a way to solve this issue?

I have not activated the Desktop and Documents option in iCloud Drive to save space in iCloud Drive. Can I now copy 1 spreadsheet from my local hard drive to iCloud Drive instead of moving it so that this file remains on the local hard drive and also in iCloud Drive? If this can be done will a change in the spreadsheet I make on the local hard drive also be synced to icloud I have tried but the change is not synced!!!! Thanks for help!!!

[mortenbrundk]

Great video thank you, but how do you add tags to your documents? Manually?

[jebaker]

Really nice! I cannot commit myself to iCloud Drive because, though I use an iPad Pro, Mac and iPhone… I often end up using non-Apple devices as well. But I think the ideas translate over.

[jds]

Hello, a folder in iCloud Drive with some small documents has had a cloud next to it for a month. Why doesn't that cloud disappear? How do I get rid of that cloud???? Thanks for info!!!

[Carloselcoach]

Great video!! How to manage final cut or your video editing soft in iCloud? You know, we need to configure The files event/project

Do you use the iCloud? Put this file there?

[starfoggs]

Tags seem to be a great idea. Will definitely check it out. Any recommendations regarding family members? I keep all documents of all members of my family and everyone got his/her own folder. Problem is that some documents are for a specific family member while others are for“universal“. How would you solve this? Folders for everyone and a family tag or one family folder and member tags? I am unsure and don’t wanna play around with, as there are a lot of documents I’d have to tag and move.

This was my first YT video of your channel. Very interesting. I learned quite a bit about finder. But why do you start with iCloud. I use iCloud as a backup system for my files on my MacBook.

cómo eliminar la identificación de iCloud en MacBook Pro

[philippevandel]

Thanks for this; that's really great. But to focus on the ultimate goal, which is doing things. What software are you using: Apple software (Pages, Numbers), Google, Microsoft? That could be very interesting because these productive suites also provide a File Management system and GTD setup. I lose a lot of time trying to find the ultimate ecosystem, which is complicated when I need to share with different contractors not using the Apple Ecosystem.

[AntonioOrdaz]

Awesome video! I already applied that 👍🏻 Quick question, within each folder the settings are the same?

[AS-ldmz]

Hi thanks, so if your devices have different storage capacity how does it work. For example, if I run out of space on my phone and my ipad have more storage so I save more photos there how does it work. It won't b accessible on my phone as I don't have space, but I can access from my ipad and desktop right? how the sync back up works? txs
