I just want the files local and my iCloud is out of space, I don't know how to save the files locally on my Desktop without it uploading to icloud. How to make local folders? I'm used to using windows where everything is stored locally. I don't want to upgrade my icloud and every time i save something it goes to icloud.

Large files disappear from iCloud Drive on computer I'm using iCloud Drive to sync and backup the data on my MacBookAir, including the option to optimise my storage - meaning that older documents that I don't use as much are only saved in iCloud and have to be downloaded to the computer when I want to use them. This has worked perfectly fine for me for 6 years (the files are displayed in the folders, but I have to click download before I can open them), but recently, there is a troubling problem: Larger files (not older ones, but only the large ones) are not shown on my MacBook anymore at all. Example: I open a folder on my MacBook (iCloud - desktop - folder) and it has 8 files in it. However, I can't find my two Keynote presentations in there, so I open iCloud Drive in the browser or on my phone, navigate to the same folder and it shows me 10 files, including the two large presentations. (To clarify: the files are not displayed at all on the MacBook, not even the thumbnails. And if I click on the information on the folder, it says '8 files' on the computer, but says '10 files' when I look at it on my phone) I think this problem has started since my last update to Sonoma 14.0. Has anyone come across this yet? Or has any suggestions on how to fix it? Many thanks in advance! Ina

MacOS storage Hello everyone, I recently ran into a problem with Mac and iCloud storage. At the moment I have 256 GB of Mac storage and 200 GB of iCloud plus. I synced about 100 GB of files with Windows using the icloud application and then launched my macbook directly. As a result, it started downloading files and the disk space decreased sharply (the storage of the poppy itself, not iCloud). How to solve this problem? What happens to open files that were downloaded from icloud to mac. As far as I know, decoding takes place on the iPhone and after a while the files from the iPhone storage are already uploaded back to iCloud. What about Mac? Many thanks in advance to everyone for the help!
