Files that are opened in a bound iCloud application are instantly copied to the application folder in iCloud.

When I open a file in any folder in the finder, in an application that is linked to iCloud, i.e. 'Expert PDF' or 'Preview', I opened, the file will be copied to the application folder instantly. This only happens on Mac.

On Mac, the file appears in the folder something like a shortened (as in the picture):

If I open the mobile application (i.e. PDF Expert) there is a copy of the file in the application folder.

I first thought that would happen only with Expert PDF, but I discovered that it happens with any application that is enabled in the settings of the iCloud drive. It's really annoying to remove them, every time that you open the. That this feature was actually supposed to do, is create a folder in iCloud drive that is assigned to the application on any device to iCloud.

Maybe someone knows how to turn it off, or maybe it's just a bug.

It looks like a feature and not a bug.

iCloud is not really duplicate files in the files collection of application.  It looks like a file duplicate of the same size as the original, that you have opened, but iCloud is record storage by creating symbolic links. .

I checked several of apparent duplicates in the Terminal, and if I list the file with the Terminal command

LS - li somefileoniclouddrive

I see that the inodes are identical to the original and the duplicate.  So no additional storage is required.

  • How to remove the files that are most referenced in the catalogue

    Over the years, we have a number of files (raw files ~ 650) who withdrew from the catalog but not my hard drive. This happens mainly because I used the wrong combination. But now I am stuck how can I find and delete these files?

    Best strategy so far:

    -Use Synchronize folders to search for the missing files from the catalog

    -The re-importation of a keyword - deleteme.

    I'd really rather avoid this because I really don't want to take the risk of any chance to have these files. Any other ideas?

    See you soon

    In each of your folders in Lightroom, create a new folder and call it temp. In Lightroom, move the images that are located in the folders to temporary folders. Go to your finder and delete these images that were not moved to the temp folder. (ie. those that Lightroom was not aware of) Move images back in Lightroom, and then delete the temp folder.

    Personally, I'd go with import via synchronization of the top-level folder and then delete the images as you watch the "previous import" and get rid of all 650 photos at once. No necessary but useful keyword as a security measure.

  • Cannot open DOC files that are sent to me. I have wordpad and Notepad on my computer but you do not have Microsoft Office

    original title: DOC files

    Cannot open DOC files that are sent to me. I have wordpad and Notepad on my computer but you do not have Microsoft Office. Most of the time, I get a screen that says 'open' or 'save' the file and when I click on 'Open', this message disappears. Sometimes it opens, but the message is completely scrambled with letters and symbols.

    Cannot open DOC files in wordpad or Notepad. you will need a more advanced software suite. Try OpenOffice.org - it's free, and it supports the DOC format. But the best solution is to get Microsoft Office once and for all.

    Download OpenOffice.org: http://download.openoffice.org/contribute.html?download=mirrorbrain&files/stable/3.2.1/OOo_3.2.1_Win_x86_install-wJRE_en-US.exe. Note: Click on the link at the bottom that says "http://download.services.openoffice.org/files/stable/3.2.1/OOo_3.2.1_Win_x86_install-wJRE_en-US.exe" to download the program.

  • Why filtering by "unused" shows the files that are used in the project?

    Above the list of clips, I choose 'unused '.  I thought that this would be a practical way to show me the files I can delete the library because they are not used.  The thing is, I select this option, I see it shows me files that are certainly in use on the timeline, then what's the point of this?  How can I show actually files that are not used and as long as I can safely remove?

    It shows the unused portions of clips. If you want to remove a clip that has any items used in a project, you're better activation of the clipping indicator used. Any clip with an orange bar has been used.
