| Feb 3, 2023 at 14:47 | comment | added | Allan | What @nohillside said. If you want to access via iCloud, they need to be in the cloud service’s folder(s) | |
| Feb 3, 2023 at 14:43 | comment | added | nohillside♦ | Basically yes. If you want to access files from several devices, they need to be in iCloud (or in any other cloud storage/sync solution). | |
| Feb 3, 2023 at 14:34 | comment | added | user480875 | @Allan I have just read your answer you have linked and the respective Apple Support article, but I still don't understand. It seems that if I want to edit them on both devices, I have two options: either 1. keep all these files in the iCloud folder (no other folders there, just files), or 2. re-create on iCloud a hierarchy of folders that I use on my Mac, right? | |
| Feb 3, 2023 at 14:24 | comment | added | Allan | If you don’t put the in a folder that syncs with the cloud, how are you supposed to access them via the cloud? You need to restructure your workflow so this works properly for you. | |
