Storage is FULL! - How to OPTIMIZE FILES and FIX your STORAGE PROBLEMS on Macs, iPhones and iPads

Video Description

This video is about understanding file management on your Mac, and iOS devices. I discuss the built in options on a Mac to look at your storage and ways to find out what files are taking up space and where they are located. I also look at Apple's storage optimization feature that allows you to free up space on Macs, iPhones and iPads using iCloud storage. Everything is the same on an iPad as I primarily showcase an iPhone. Keep in mind that in order for you to utilize a cloud solution such as iCloud, you would need to pay for more storage to accommodate all the files, photos and videos offloading to the cloud to free up space locally on your device. 00:00 | Welcome Back! 01:30 | Understanding file storage on Mac to free up space 02:29 | Optimize Photo and Video Storage on Mac using iCloud Photos 05:56 | Optimize Storage for Apple TV on a Mac 07:40 | Empty Mac Trash Automatically 10:05 | "Put Back" Trash feature on your Mac 12:05 | Deleting text messages on your Mac - The right way! 16:04 | Understanding Optimizing iCloud Storage on Mac 18:56 | How to Sync Desktop and Documents folder to iCloud Drive 20:24 | How to remove a file downloaded from your Mac 22:24 | What files/folders DON'T sync to iCloud Drive! 23:59 | How to remove a Folder downloaded on your Mac 24:42 | Optimzing iPhone Storage for photos to free up space 25:40 | iCloud Drive Storage on iPhone 26:49 | How to remove a file from iCloud Drive on iPhone or iPad 28:57 | The BIGGEST DOWNFALL of Optimizing Storage Other helpful videos and links: See used and available storage space on your Mac https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/storage-space-mac-syspf9b375b9/13.0/mac/13.0 Optimize storage space on your Mac https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/optimize-storage-space-sysp4ee93ca4/mac Free up storage space on your Mac https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT206996 Change Storage settings on Mac https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/change-storage-settings-mchl3d437fbc/13.0/mac/13.0 How to MOVE your iCLOUD PHOTO LIBRARIES and APPLE PHOTO LIBRARIES to an EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE! https://youtu.be/wArkMrYehR8 BACKUP YOUR MAC! - IN-DEPTH look at Apple Time Machine and many ways to save and recover your files! https://youtu.be/LXl4QkrsxHQ UNDERSTANDING Apple's FILES App and HOW TO ORGANIZE DOCUMENTS in iCLOUD DRIVE on an iPhone and iPad! https://youtu.be/yYvDZq8dD5M How to use iCLOUD DRIVE on your Mac, iPhone and iPad - IN DEPTH understanding of syncing your files! https://youtu.be/zHZLbR2tq1g If you have a video suggestion, let's chat! https://www.youtube.com/c/Learnwithjoel/community –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– CHECK OUT MY FAVORITE TECH GIZMOS AND GADGETS: https://www.amazon.com/shop/joelfeld We are a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for us to earn fees by linking to Amazon.com and affiliated sites.
