iCloud Drive or external disk for sharing?
Q As I'm sharing more work in Pages and Numbers between my iPad Pro and Macs, should I increase my iCloud storage, or store documents on an external SSD?
A Keeping shared documents in iCloud A or on an external drive have their own merits and drawbacks. iCloud+ offers up to 12TB, although that would cost you a hefty £54.99 per month. A suitable 2TB SSD costs well under £200 for USB 3, or up to twice that for Thunderbolt 3, and should last many years at no additional cost.
