cheeryble Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 This just came up on my Air. The built in storage is near full. I have a card in the side which is not near full. Should I change to the apps folder or ignore? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wondering how many gb it may stop on my Air even temporarily? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know anything about Google Photos, but I would guess you would have different ways to set up the app depending on your preferences.
