I know there's been a bit of storage/back-up chat in the last few pages so bear with me.
Like @Muppetteer I need to pull and store a load of files. I currently use Dropbox and I have just enough space on there that I could upload to it, but then that doesn't leave me much room for regular working. I'm up for buying 2TB icloud but I've never used it before.
Can you use it like Timemachine to make staged backups rather than working from it like dropbox? Does anyone regularly use it from a PC? I know you can, just wondered if it's a pain.
Secondly, I've been using a Surface Pro as my main machine for the last few months, and rather like it. Currently using with an external screen, keyboard and mouse, but I do also use it a lot for drawing on. I haven't ever used it in tablet mode. I'm going to have to give it back, and wondered about getting an iPad Pro or replacing the Surface Pro. Any thoughts?
I've always had MBP as my main personal machine but used to using whatever. I like being able to draw on the screen more than I thought I would, and it's pretty essential for WFH now. I mostly use Office plus Adobe PS/InD/Illus. Is it ok for that? I'm currently in Microsoft 365 world - and the desktop apps are better for Windows, but don't know if that will continue. Can you Bootcamp/Parallels an ipad? I've never had to do it on any machine, just wondering in case I need to use Revit...
