ICloud Photo Library is built into iOS, so third-party apps can help you with editing. Having easy access on iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple TV has been fantastic. We love browsing the Memories section (automatic grouping of vacations, year highlights, etc.) as a family on our big TV in the living room. Photos, productivity apps, Mail, Calendar, and anything you drop into your iCloud Drive folder in Finder on a Mac are immediately available across all your Apple devices. Dropbox isn't the only cloud-based storage and syncing service for the Mac, but it's currently one of the most popular. It does have some pretty stiff competition, though, including Microsoft's SkyDrive, Google's Google Drive, Box.net, and SugarSync. As a Mac user, you also can use Apple’s own cloud service, iCloud. It's a very handy, easy-to. Select the Mac OS version to download. Select Download App. Once the file is downloaded go to Finder then Downloads. Double Click on the file so the cloudLibrary Icon appears. Drag the icon into the Applications folder. Open the Applications folder and double click on the cloudLibrary app to open the app.
Check the upload status of each song in your music library
When you turn on Sync Library in the Apple Music app or turn on iCloud Music Library in iTunes, Apple Music uploads and matches every song in your music library.
To check the upload status of each song:
- On your Mac, open the Apple Music app. On your PC, open iTunes, choose Music from the pop-up menu, then click Library.
- In the sidebar, select Songs.
- In the menu bar, choose View > Show View Options.
- Select Cloud Download and Cloud Status.

Available for download
The song isn't downloaded to your device and can only be played when your device is connected to the Internet. To listen to the song offline, tap or click the Download icon to download it to your device.
Duplicate
You have duplicate versions of the same song in your music library on your computer. Duplicate songs aren't uploaded and synced across your devices.
Removed
You have multiple computers that have Sync Library turned on and a song was deleted from one of those computers. Songs that you delete from your music library are immediately removed from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but stay on other associated computers until they're manually deleted.
Ineligible
Apple Music might not be able to upload the song because the song wasn't purchased from the iTunes Store, was purchased using a different Apple ID, or is too large of a file.
Error
Mac In The Cloud Free
The song file is corrupt or there was an error uploading the song. Choose File > Library > Update Cloud Music Library to resolve this. If updating doesn't resolve the issue, try importing a new copy of the song into your music library.
