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

PS: I said MOST of the listed file types. Like epubs or docs. Or other insignificant kB size files (unless you're the Library of Congress running a sole Mac, LOL.). Just out of interest, how long does it take to move, say, 500 GB worth of video files to *the cloud*? Takes a while to move that kind of bytes to an extra internal/external HDD - so how long to *the cloud*?! What's the realistic upload bandwidth? Anywhere close to the 100 MB/s I get with an external HDD?

If it works in the background, or while the system is idle, the time it takes doesn't matter. If you are doing by hand, and selecting each file one-at-a-time, it does. Bandwidth is another matter entirely if you are on a metered or limited connection.
