iCloud Drive question

[beachBOYken]

Hi

I have MacBook, iPad and iPhone and I have never thought about using iCloud Drive.
I don’t really have much, just a few documents on my MacBook.
Even so am I best enabling iCloud Drive?

I have apple one family so iCloud storage is about 200gb so plenty.

I guess it’s good just as a backup as well.

I use it, works really well and I can access any file from any device logged into my iCloud account.

I noticed I had it enabled on my MacBook as some of my folders had been converted to iCloud versions like documents and desktop folders.

I think I will keep it on then and customise it a bit, I looked under settings for iCloud Drive and looks like a lot pointless stuff enabled for iCloud Drive.

Like what?

On MacBook

Stuff like shortcuts, weather. It was under iCloud Drive in options, had loads of stuff enabled.

Oh right, that's the sort of thing I find useful, not pointless. So if I have set up favourite locations in the Weather app on one device, they appear on my other devices as well. I think that's quite handy.

Except Stocks. I've never used that, never will. It can get in the sea

I thought all that stuff was general apple iCloud account sync not the iCloud Drive though.
