So we always think of ways to manage our storage devices and files that are on our local drives. And it drives us mad to keep copies of them on a separate external drive to later make space on your local one. Apple has introduced a feature in the new macOS that can manage the storage on its own. It backs up the least used files onto iCloud and deletes them from the local drive, making it convenient for users.
