Hello and welcome to Mac Power Users. My name is Stephen Robles. Join, as always, by my friend, David Sparks. How's it going, David? Hello, Mr. Robles. How are you today? I'm doing really well. I'm super excited. It's the first time I'm podcasting with our special guest today, maker of Overcast, the Incredible New Transcription Service, and we're going to talk about 3D printing a little bit as well. Marco Arment, thanks so much for joining us.

Hello, nice to be here again. And Stephen, welcome, I guess. I don't know. I've been on the show before, but not with you. And I've loved it ever since you've taken it over. So good job so far. Thank you so much. Thank you for saying that. Yeah, and you've been posing about 3D printing as well, and so I think for Mac power, for more power users,

we're going to talk about 3D Yeah, and you've been posing about 3D printing as well. And so I think for Mac power, for more power users, we're going to talk about 3D printing because my middle son, he just has 3D printed stuff all over. And so I'm curious your experience. Absolutely. And Stephen Robles, you don't even know what kind of Pandora's box you open when you talk to me about 3D printing. So I had no idea. You were about it too?

I want to change my middle name to Gridfinity. I'm just saying. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I haven't even gotten into that yet. Oh, no. Oh, no. We have a lot to talk about, Margo. We sure do. All right, very good. Oh, and one quick announcement. our second monthly bonus episode is out.

We mentioned it last week,

but you can hear all about David,

smart home excopades and more tips there. And so you can look for the pro max users feed. That link will be below.

are no longer backed up to Backblaze specifically and we had a wonderful email from

Brian a Fat Cat software talk about it And we just wanted to be explicitly clear.

And the listener of Mac Power users actually got an email from Backblaze when they asked.

And hopefully, Marco, is that, can you guys confirm that?

Because you guys went really deep on it on ATP. Honestly, I have lost track of what the answer is.

So I can't confirm or deny. Well, it seemed like the support email, one of our listeners

specifically asked, and we'll put a link, I linked it last week, and I will link to it again.

But even if the file and folder is

downloaded locally, as long as it's designated as an ICloud Drive folder, this is from

Backblaze's support, this is from Janet at Backblaze. It says that it just cannot include

ICloud drive folders, anything that macOS controls via cloud sync so if

you have files and folders outside of iCloud drive outside of your desktop and documents if you're

syncing those those will get backed up and it can still do photo backup which is what the email from
