I have mostly iPhone photos in JPEG, but I have 150GB of photos because I have 15 years of photos. Renting is generally cheaper than cash outlays for more storage… for a while… and then the benefits of ownership turns that table for all of the rest of the time. But someone else may be perfectly fine with the opposing approach. I’m pretty anti-cloud, so I’ve spent the extra to own/control/backup my media. Which way is best? That’s a mind of the beholder consideration. If you would rather own & control your content, pay up for some storage and dodge the forever rent and towards blind faith & trust in complete strangers.ĭepending on the app list, one with everything in the cloud could lean on only an iPad or iPhone with minimum specs… and not even bother with Mac. If that works fine for some, this is an option to buy minimum configs. It also completely depends on an internet connection for access to any of it. My applications folder has plenty of apps and is enormous Adobe apps alone are usually 4GB+ each, some developer apps are around 12GB each - I think in iOS simulators alone I have over 40GB of data.Ī basic Mac with 256GB just can't grow with the user and it forces the user into particular usage patterns that they might not have had to use previously (when iMacs came with 1TB+ fusion drives)Ĭlick to expand.This is another way to go but it entirely trusts strangers in “the cloud” as caretakers of all media… that they will keep it all available when you want it… that they won’t lose any of it… that hackers won’t manage to get hold of it and hold it for ransom… that for-profit middlemen injected between user and media won’t decide to charge more for it… and that forever rent for access is required to keep all this going.If Apple ever loses your photos you're doomed - I know Google was recently experiencing issues of losing customer data so it isn't wise to rely exclusively on cloud solutions. Storing all your photos in iCloud is not the smartest thing to do because you have no offline backup that you control.Media streaming is normal these days but leaves you subject to the availability whims of the streaming services.
