Apple has made it easier for users to access and organize their files with the introduction of a new feature that allows files to be synced to iTunes or iCloud Drive. This will make it possible for users to have access to their files on any device, which is especially helpful when traveling. Additionally, users can choose to sync certain folders only, which will make the process faster and more efficient.
iTunes and iCloud how they work

With iCloud Drive, users can sync folders between devices, making it easy to have all of their files in one place. iTunes is a bit different in that it allows users to store their music and movies on their devices. Additionally, iTunes can be used to back up an iPhone or iPad.

Differences between syncing files to iTunes and iCloud Drive
Syncing files to iTunes and iCloud Drive can be done in different ways, and there are some differences between the two methods. With iTunes, users can choose to sync all of their files, or only certain folders. iCloud Drive, on the other hand, syncs all of the files in the user’s account automatically. Additionally, with iCloud Drive, users can access their files on any device, even if they are not connected to the internet. However, with iTunes, users can only access their files on the device that they have synced them to.
Other storage option
If you don’t want to sync your files to iTunes or iCloud Drive, you can use other storage options, such as DropBox or Google Drive. These services allow you to store your files in the cloud, which means you can access them from any device. Additionally, most of these services offer free storage plans, so you can save money and keep your files safe and organized.
Which option is best for you
If you want to have access to your files on any device, then iCloud Drive is the best option. If you only want to sync certain folders, then iTunes is the better option.
iTunes and iCloud Drive are both great options for syncing and organizing files. iCloud Drive is especially helpful for accessing files on any device, even when you’re not connected to the internet. However, if you don’t want to use iCloud Drive, there are other storage options available.
