iCloud Drive stop down/uploads

I find increasing frustration with iCloud Drive - it is conceptually poor - not a cloud 'storage' costly facility but a sync world that requires a large hard drive


Also I would like iCloud Drive to stop up/downloading when it is inconvenient.


The attached X to stop does not work


Any ideas appreciated


Thanks!

MacBook Air, macOS 13.6

iCloud will always sync in the background as files change. iCloud is not designed as cloud storage but as a synchronization service.
