Joe Kissell helps guide us through the potential pitfalls of upgrading to the new version of the macOS in Take Control of Upgrading to Sierra. Even though upgrading has improved over the years, there are still potential issues you need to be aware of and choices to be made as you make the move. Joe talks about the implications, advantages and costs of choosing to store your Documents and Desktop folders in iCloud, what the new Optimized Storage feature is and how using it may affect the availability of your files when you’re offline, and which of the three options for upgrading he and others use for their own purposes.
