This video is about understanding file management on your Mac, and iOS devices. I discuss the built in options on a Mac to look at your storage and ways to find out what files are taking up space and where they are located.

I also look at Apple's storage optimization feature that allows you to free up space on Macs, iPhones and iPads using iCloud storage. Everything is the same on an iPad as I primarily showcase an iPhone.

Keep in mind that in order for you to utilize a cloud solution such as iCloud, you would need to pay for more storage to accommodate all the files, photos and videos offloading to the cloud to free up space locally on your device.
