This is possibly a completely stupid question but can I use iCloud to back up the files on my Mac? It kinda seems like I should be able to but, if so, the interface is impenetrable. And it's making me feel like an idiot. Am I just expecting iCloud to be something it's not?
It's all about the coat.

Java, that is my understanding. You can see a bunch of private stuff in your timeline but it is only visible to you. I logged in as CJ and couldn't see the private messages on my timeline. (while he is in school, I get all this passwords).

Yeah, it's a weird glitch. But when I was checking my friend's old wall to look for my messages, I did see a few from other friends of hers that looked suspiciously private in nature. But people use FB different ways, and they could have just been quite personal-sounding public wall messages.

lisah,
what kind of files are you interested in backing up?

so, why not dropbox for your needs?

Is that what dropbox is for? I've only heard it being used to transfer files?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
files on dropbox exist on dropbox servers, you can have web access, and on any machine (and smartphone) where you install the app.

there are straight backup solutions too if you want those but dropbox might be what you need.

So, am I right in thinking that iCloud is not really a storage option even though it says it has storage space available?
