![]() One of the most common use cases for iCloud’s web interface is pulling images, videos, and other files off of your iPhone and onto your PC, or vice versa. Pick up your iPhone after typing it and you should immediately see it in your Notes app. If you have multiple Apple devices that you take with you on the go and you have something lengthy to type out that may not be most comfortable doing on an iPhone, accessing iCloud through its web interface and typing the note out there using a keyboard will allow for immediate and automated synchronization. The most obvious example is with the Notes app. While there aren’t currently any native browser integrations that interact with iCloud’s web interface-such as plugins to alert you on Reminders or updated Notes-this is still a great way to manage your iPhone if you ever need to type out something especially long. You can get more information on managing your iCloud storage here: Manage your iCloud storage - Apple Support, and on how iCloud works in general here: iCloud: What is iCloud?. Get more information on how to do that under the "Download your original photos and videos" section of iCloud Photo Library - Apple Support. Likewise, you can keep original picture files on the Mac, as well, using the Photos app. ![]() While the initial impact of doing this moves your content to iCloud, you're able to move your content back to your computer in one step using the instructions under the "Turn off Desktop and Documents" section of Add your Desktop and Documents files to iCloud Drive - Apple Support. For example, if you'd like to turn off iCloud Drive, you can. You're even able to pick and choose which iCloud features you do, or do not, wish to use. ![]() While iCloud offers several options for you to manage your content and keep it synced across devices, it is a wholly optional service. From your post, I understand that you'd like to stop using iCloud to store photos and documents, and would rather just store them locally on your Mac and external storage. Thanks for stopping by the Apple Support Communities. ![]()
