One thing I will say about this iCloud thing. I initiated the move of this 59 gB folder and it’s taking forever to even begin. I realize moving 59GB, essentially downloading it, will take a long time. But it’s amazing that it’s still saying “Preparing to move…” after at least fifteen minutes. I wonder how long I should wait before stopping this and moving the files using Sneaker net from my Windows machine via thumb drive to my Mac and deleting the whole mess from iCloud.
