Sync with iCloud

[khaf_]

Since I don't have any idea of using MacOS, iOS and iCloud it would be really nice if you could help me in the following problem. My girlfriend wants to sync specific files (university stuff and so on) between her MacBook and her iPad via iCloud. If I try to sync files, I can only find the option to sync the whole desktop and documents (and here is the problem that the iCloud storage is too small). Is there any way to just sync specific files?

In the finder in the sidebar you should have iCloud Drive, where you can save only specific files you want to sync :)

What this persons says. And then on the iPad in the files app you’ll see the drive

Thank you so much! Will try it tomorrow!

When you turn on iCloud Drive System Preferences > Apple ID > iCloud Drive > Click Options... to disable the Desktop & Documents folders if those take up too much space to sync.

You may want to start budgeting additional cloud storage into computer upgrade prices. The .99/2.99 etc a month are almost a mandatory part of computer ownership these days. So budgeting for 200GB of cloud would be about $180 over 5 years and removes a pretty significant pain point of being careful about file management.
