Wondering what’s taking up all the space on your iPad?
Your iPad breaks down where all of your iPad space is being allocated to. To see this in a visual form, visit Settings > General > iPad Storage.
Here you will see a visual bar showing you where content is located on your iPad (Apps, Photos, Mail, etc). Below this bar the iPad will break down the largest applications on your iPad and sort them from largest to smallest.

Free Up Storage on Your Mac
by Josh Beatty
When you receive this message, how do you know what files are taking up all that space on your Mac’s hard drive? You have already emptied your trash and cleaned out your Downloads folder, but your drive is still mostly full. Luckily, there is a tool built into macOS that can help.
First look for Apple Menu
in the upper left hand corner of your screen. Click on the Apple icon and select About This Mac from the drop down menu.
Once the About This Mac window opens click on Storage.
On the first screen you will see a color-coded status bar showing how much of your Mac’s hard drive is being used and how much space is being used by different types of files. To look a little deeper click on the Manage button.
In the Manage window there is a list of file types and the amount of space they are using in the left-side pane. If you click on one of file types you will see a list of the largest files of that type in the right pane If you click on one of the files you can use the Show in Finder button to see the location of the file or the Delete button to permanently delete the file.
One area that I always check is iOS Files. It may contain backups for old phones or iPads that you no longer have, or you may have inadvertently created a backup for an iOS device when plugging it into your Mac to charge. Those backups can be deleted here.

Customize the Finder Sidebar on Mac
by Eric Delgado
You've probably noticed all those folders and items on the left side of your Finder windows. (If not go to the Finder and from the View menu and select Show Sidebar). You can add your own folders to the Sidebar. Drag any folder to the side and that’s it. Now the cool part isn’t just that you now have one-click access to that folder, but anything you drop onto that folder will be copied or moved there.
