Wish I would not bought into Apple product, I going back to M. S asap this iCloud bits,for I have read several of your reviews and feel I must stop at this point, due to the gaping holes in them.
Upon login from a foreign machine where exactly does an Android user get the code from another device? Imagine the disservice of your reviews to someone who needs all the pixels of their photo files preserved, only to find their cloud storage down-sampled their tiffs. The ppl who coded it should hand back their wages as they have not delivered. Cannot see any of my files on windows 10 even though signed in and everything says its good.
Tried all the fixes. Another fine product from Crapple. Do not trust they will have your files for safe keeping!!! They lost 9 weeks of Data!!! How is that possible? If you delete files from a different Mac linked to the same iCloud account, they also get deleted from the original Mac that the files were on. Even though you can access those files when you do not have internet, if you delete them from the hard drive of a different Mac and then empty the trash of the other Mac, those files will be gone forever on the original Mac.
There is no way to get the files back once deleted from the trash and inadvertently from the iCloud Drive. Why would a Mac not store all files on the hard drive?
They said I should have been using Time Machine to back up everything. I was using an external hard drive to do that scheduled once a week, only to learn that my files were not saved because my files were being stored on iCloud, not on the hard drive.
I thought the iCloud Drive was advertised as a safe back up drive. I never thought my files were not being stored on my hard drive, since I was still able to access everything when I did not have internet. I even paid for extra iCloud storage so all my pictures and files would be saved. Weirdly, many of my picture files were also deleted even though supposedly Photos on the Mac and iCloud Drive are separate.
I lost about a year of files since I started using iCloud to back up my files in addition to the Seagate external drive which was actually only backing up my empty hard drive.
I am so disappointed in Apple. I feel like I am somewhat tech savvy but need an IT degree to fully understand how iCloud works unless you experience the loss all of your files! I can redo some of my work, but it will take months and many files are lost forever.
I fully agree with your post. Files are not safe, and as you found out tragically, no secure against deletion by accident. There is no way to get them back.
I had the same problem back with iOS 8. I reset my iPad only to find that contrary to what Apple might state in the OS, all iWorks directories on the iCloud were wiped clean on all connected devices. Additionally, I had another problem where by I got locked out of all my files because iCloud told me the owner had refused me access. Bit rich seeing as I was the owner, and the only device I had used with iCloud at that time was my iPad.
I have long since consigned iCloud to the bin, as untrustworthy. It might have changed since I last used it, but on an iPad trying to group files and move them off the iCloud is nigh on impossible, you have to send them one at a time. I love doing that with hundreds of files. Oh yes, forget the sharing options, they all come with too many caveats to be of any use to anyone but those heavily invested in Apple features.
On a final note, Apple state that you should not use iCloud as a secure form of back up, but then contradict themselves and call it a back up source in iOS. It also helps us manage other iCloud content, like notes, contacts , calendars and more. If you have further needs of downloading files from iCloud, just try AnyTrans to do the task.
