When you buy a Mac, you have to work out how much local storage space you’re likely to need. Once you’ve made your decision, there is no going back because Apple Silicon Macs don’t allow you to upgrade the internal hard drive. Trouble is, the space given as standard is low: you’re looking at 256GB of storage and, if you want to upgrade, it can be costly.
One way around this is to buy an external drive or make good use of iCloud Drive when space is running low. That’s no bad thing — some of the best external hard drives have lots of capacity and iCloud Drive is among the best free cloud storage options around. With some decent file management, these arrangements can work well.
