Companies do not act according to their morals: they act according to their incentives. And there is an incentive to sell more iCloud storage if SSDs are hard to swap.
- tachion 7y agoExcept that when you don't have the disk space on your SSD to download the stuff from iCloud, the whole thing doesn't work. I think you've a conspiracy theory here.
- rbanffy 7y agoWhen you don't, the local files that haven't been accessed in some time are deleted and only a local alias is kept. Next time you need it, it'll be downloaded.
- manigandham 7y agoAlmost every cloud service (icloud, dropbox, box, onedrive) now has on-demand access to files to download them when actually opened.
- lonelappde 7y agoThis is tinfoily. Making people happy to buy $2500-$4000 machines is a much bigger incentive than squeezing a little iCloud money.
