What This Skill Does
Manages personal files across iCloud, Google Drive, Dropbox, and OneDrive. Covers storage cleanup, backup strategy, file sharing, and service selection for consumer cloud storage.
Replaces juggling multiple cloud storage interfaces and manual cleanup by providing a unified guide for syncing, sharing, and backing up files across the four major consumer services.
When to Use It
- Choose which cloud service fits your devices and workflow
- Free up space when a cloud storage account is full
- Set up a 3-2-1 backup strategy using cloud as offsite storage
- Share a folder or file with family via a link or shared folder
- Review and revoke old shared links for security
- Disable duplicate photo backups across multiple services

Scope
This skill covers consumer cloud storage — the services regular people use for photos, documents, and backups.
Not this skill: AWS, Azure, S3 buckets, VPS, Docker, APIs → use infrastructure, s3, or server.
Quick Service Picker
| Your devices | Best fit | Why |
|---|---|---|
| iPhone + Mac | iCloud | Native integration, seamless |
| Android + Chrome | Google Drive | Included with Gmail, auto photo backup |
| Windows PC | OneDrive | Built into Windows, Office integration |
| Mixed devices | Dropbox | Works equally well everywhere |
For detailed pricing and features, see services.md.
Common Confusions
| What you think | What's actually happening |
|---|---|
| "I deleted it from my phone and now it's gone from my laptop" | Sync works as designed — one file, everywhere |
| "iCloud storage full but my phone has space" | Phone storage ≠ iCloud storage |
| "My photos are duplicated everywhere" | Multiple services backing up the same camera roll |
| "I pay for 3 cloud services" | Pick one primary, cancel the rest |
Storage Full — What to Do
- Check what's using space — Photos usually dominate
- Empty trash — Deleted files count until trash is emptied
- Disable duplicate backups — Pick one photo backup service
- Offload old files — Move archives to external drive
For service-specific cleanup steps, see cleanup.md.
Backup Strategy
- 3-2-1 rule: 3 copies, 2 different media, 1 offsite
- Cloud counts as offsite — but also keep a local backup
- Check backup status monthly — don't assume it's working
What to back up and what NOT to store in cloud: see backup.md.
Sharing Files
| Need | Method |
|---|---|
| Quick share with anyone | Link (set expiration) |
| Ongoing family access | Shared folder |
| Sensitive documents | Don't use cloud, or encrypt first |
Step-by-step per service: see sharing.md.
Security Basics
- Enable 2FA on all cloud accounts
- Review shared links quarterly — revoke old ones
- Don't store unencrypted: passwords, IDs, financial documents
