Do we HAVE to use the Cloud?
#14
So, we can turn Cloud off (or not enable it in the first place) and our current method of syncing still works as always, true?

Kate, are you concerned the Cloud will slow down your current sync expectations? Or about Apple's reliability, anticipating problems or interruptions? Or just prefer not to have Apple's servers get involved in your business? Those are all valid concerns. I'm just curious what has you uneasy about the upcoming service?

It would be interesting to see if the benefits of the Cloud are seductive enough to draw in seasoned users who already manage a local version of similar services, between their macs and devices.

The idea of documents-in-progress, and downloaded songs, and iPhone photos, etc., automatically appearing each of my computers and devices sounds appealing. Since it could save me the hassle of dropping files to this or that one, manually, or emailing myself a photo, or a song, which is a pain in the ass. I have an iPhone, three macs, an iPad, etc., so the convenience could be useful for a user like me. Or not. I'm not sure 'till I try it.

Does my stuff really have to go out to "the Cloud" (over the internet, to Apple's servers) in order for it to move to a different device in my house, only 20 feet away? And why?
