(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); I was recently a Windows user until about 2 weeks ago, and I'm one of those people that is extremely anal about storage. On Windows to watch a movie you have on your account you have to download it, but on Mac it's just available to you in your movies section,
You must login or register to view this content.
those are the movies there, and as you can see there is a Cloud logo on top of them, does this mean that they are just available for streaming, or are they actually on my Mac taking up storage?
Also, is it the same for my tv shows? You must login or register to view this content.

if anyone can help me out, I'd greatly appreciate it! Smile

I no expert but if I were to give it a guess I'd say it is most likely on your hard drive. The only way to really find out if it is or isn't is by checking through your hard drive where your movies are usually stored and see if those movies or in there. If they aren't then it is safe to say that they are stored in your cloud and are streamed when you go to watch them. Hopefully I helped out a bit. :p

No, this means that they are in the "Cloud" as in iCloud and they do not take up space on your hard drive!
