But there are also special folders created for some apps like for Keynote. But if you look in the Finder and you go to iCloud Drive you'll see you have a variety of folders here including your Documents folder which is probably where you have most of your stuff. These aren't really any different than Other Documents. For instance, I've got one here for Numbers, another for Keynote. You also have some other categories here below. Now back in System Preferences here Other Documents is telling you basically about the files that you have stored in iCloud Drive. I like to leave my Photos Library as just photos and I like to put videos just as files on my hard drive perhaps not even in iCloud but stored locally or maybe in an external drive. One of the things I like to do to save space on iCloud is to not store very many videos in my Photos Library. Now if say I wanted to clear some things off I could through Photos and delete photos. I can go to Media types here, for instance, and see things like videos which are typically going to be a lot larger than photos and I can manage things. I can look through and get rid of duplicates. 180 photos and 3 videos and this is where I can figure out what I've got and if maybe there are things I can get rid of. In here I could see at the bottom of All Photos it shows me the same thing. To really see the photos I have stored I would go to the Photos App. You get that there are a 180 photos and 3 videos stored. If I click here you don't really get much additional information. So in this demo account I have 400 or so MB of Photos.Of course in my real account I have many GB of photos. After all both Photos and Documents are large files that take up a lot of space. So here you can see very typical results where the top two items are Photos and Other Documents. It's not going to give you the details you want but it's a good place to start. Now this is just going to give you an overview of the things that you have on iCloud. But to get really detailed information click Manage. Here you could see little areas for Photos and Videos, Documents, Messages, Mail, and then the available space.
