Countering a personal anecdote with another personal anecdote. Here's another: I've been using Catalina since release on multiple Macs and haven't had any problems. I'm also an extensive user of iCloud services, Photos and Drive are very important to me and if I had any issues with either I'd probably lose my mind.
- kevingadd 7y ago"iCloud did <x> to my files" is not an anecdote. It's an assertion of software behavior. The fact that only one sample is being provided does not magically make it an anecdote. You can say the person reporting the bug is a liar, but that's not how quality assurance works in the real world. Most likely the bug they encountered happens in a specific scenario, but regardless, "personal anecdote" or "it works for me" are not appropriate ways to respond to a bug report, let alone one about data loss.
- CJefferson 7y agoThe problem is your anecdotes not equal. One person is losing file site awful. One person finds out works isn't suprising, it just shows apple managed to release an OS which isn't buggy for every user.
- benhurmarcel 7y agoiCloud having bugs isn't a rare occurrence. I only have one Apple device (an iPhone), and even in that simple use case I have sync issues from time to time. It's mainly previously deleted things that appear back on the device (photos, reminders…). Apple isn't good at this.
