iCloud scare tactic
Now regularly receiving “iPhone nearly out of storage” notifications, encouraging me to purchase iCloud services I don’t need. (Currently 10 Gb available on my device) How do Blinders feel this tactic affects trust in the Apple brand?
...it pushed me to install my OneDrive app/subscription and store most of my items there. Turned off almost everything going to iCloud. Worked!
Do people know how I can turn off this notification?
Just switch to pixel, unlimited free storage..
I personally hate the 5gb limit they cap you at. I understand that it’s a way for them to make more margins, but I mean the phones they ship are 64-256gb nowadays for God’s sake. When I switched to my iPhone X I couldn’t even restore from iCloud backup without having to pay for the 50gb storage limit, since my backup was bigger than the free 5gb tier. They really need to do something about this, free tier should at least be able to allow updates from previous phones backups 😠 instead of having to make you pay to do so...
For $1k to buy an iPhoneX your should be GIVEN free iCloud storage equivalent to the size of your handset’s storage.
...how much iCloud storage do you have available?
2 GB
LMAO your phone said “iCloud is out of storage”, meaning your phones trying backup overnight, but you don’t have any iCloud storage available. If you don’t want iCloud to protect you from losing all your data if your phone takes a shit, turn off iCloud backup. Simple as that /thread
Don't use iCloud unless you want your data to disappear
Agree. Dropbox or nothing. OneDrive is stupid too. Why would I share a file that is going to automatically pester the person I’m sharing with to setup an account? MS not giving me a discount or credit for this...eff that. Dropbox just works exactly like it should
Uber doesn't hold a monopoly on jerks, after all.
