Thanks for a very informative video Richard. One question, is it possible to import directly from the iCloud?

Hi Vijay, thanks for watching. When you say iCloud, I am going to assume you mean Apple iCloud, and not just any cloud? If so, then yes.
Also, it is worth pointing out what i am about to say is based on my experience when using a Mac.
In the library module, click on IMPORT in the bottom left hand corner. When the next window appears, you have a list of sources down the left hand side, and above that it says SELECT A SOURCE. Click this, and near the top it may say OTHER SOURCE.....
Click this, and a Finder window appears, where you should be able to navigate to iCloud Drive. At least on mine you can. This will then give you all the folders you have in the Cloud.
Does this help at all?
Thanks again, Richard
