Most of the file types listed make up a very, very small amount on today’s 3+ TB drives. (epubs eating up your HDD? LOL!) If you’re running out of space, you should be looking at those multi-GB video files instead. (Say, a couple of seasons of Game of Thrones or somesuch.)

Seems like a waste of effort on Apple’s part to me. Or do they only supply a low-capacity HDD with their computers? (If so, WHY?)

I remember back in the day when Walmart laptops were being sold with 160GB hard drives, Apple was still considering a 40GB massive and would charge you like $200 to double it 80GB.

They always seems to ship under sized drives with their machines. That way they can sell you an upgrade later on for a premium

Boot drives on Macs are generally not Hard Disk Drives, but are mostly Solid State Drives from 128GB to 1TB in size.

PS: Look at the list. It moves such videos to iCloud for you. So it does.
