  2. Get tips and insights about stuff that you might not need to keep

  4. Discuss ways to ensure your sensitive data are protected
  5. Consider approaches to backup procedures so you don’t lose anything important
Mac Storage Usage

Prerequisites

  1. Ensure Zoom is up to date on your Mac: Open Zoom, click the Zoom application menu, Check for Updates, and install whatever is offered.
  2. Be prepared to join a Zoom meeting and share your screen. You will receive a Zoom link after you register. Ensure Zoom is already permitted share your screen (Screen Recording) and to allow screen control (Accessibility). Review my Zoom page for details.
  3. Be familiar with Mac interface basics, such as the menu bar, Dock, and Finder, as well as the Option key
  4. My demonstration will be on a Mac running macOS 15. For a similar enough experience, yours should be on at least macOS 13. However, I can also provide verbal instructions to help you assess storage on macOS 10.13 or later. To find your version, look in  > About This Mac.
