iCloud, iCloud Drive, iCloud backup. iPad “Files. So confusing.

O.K. I’ll admit it. I am getting confused with all the drives; Google Drive, iCloud Drive and whatever Microsoft calls their drive. Then there’s the cloud storage on the iPad. Storage settings differ for photos than for email and for other apps. Then there’s the confusupion over how I’m supposed to store things between my two iPads and how I can avoid synching with my husband’s iPhone and his cloud, text messages and photos. Then there’s the things I want to avoid synching on my iPads.Then there is the confusion over how to store things in the new Files app from Apple. Is anyone else as mixed up as I am about all of this?

@Mindy D Yes. And please tell me why Technology is so great if it causes us this much handwringing, consternation and isolation.

@glb613, thank you so much for the link. I’ve been wanting to delete things out of the cloud for awhile.
