• icloud drive I can copy from my external hard drive and takes no space on my internal flash drive

  I have a macair with 128 GB, I want to copy movies from my external HD to my icloud drive so that I can access without it too much space on my internal flash drive. I have 200 GB of storage on my icloud drive

  If you have iCloud drive turned on in your MacBook Air, it automatically keeps a local copy on your Mac. If you hold down Option key and open the menu go to the Finder and click library, and then click Documents Mobile (or more simply click on iCloud drive in the menu go to the Finder), it will take you to the location of the local copy.

  It is design direction to the synchronization of data between the devices rather than as a place of storage, where the only copy is in the cloud.

• El Capitan iCloud drive failure complete the transfer of files on disc from Macbook to iCloud drive

  Product

  MacBook Air. 120 GB with 15 GB of free disk space.

  Connected to the internet via WIFI from Apple Timecapsule, here through to VDSL 40 MB/s in download, 10 MB/s in upload.

  Operating system

  El Capitan 10.11.06

  Describe the problem and include details on what seems to make it.

  The Macbook was working a little slowly. It seemed a good idea to transfer files to the player to iCloud from various places on the Macbook. I created a folder, XXX, within the iCloud drive. I did drag elements of 2200 (displaced), approximately 1.8 GB total for the XXX folder. The files successfully on 15 minutes, no files in the source folder. Disk utility showed that I had lost free disk space, to about 14 GB on the Macbook.

  Use the Finder to open the iCloud drive showed two points of interest:

  • Circle of pie next to iCloud Drive. The pie chart had a white game, with most of the gray.
  • At the bottom of the window in the Finder to iCloud drive notification: 8 items, 15 GB available, download 2 235 elements (1.84 GB 1.94 GB).

  Since the transition to iCloud Drive 18 hours it is, nothing good is felt. Notification of message like above remain unchanged.

  Accessing the iCloud drive through another computer, using iCloud.com on behalf of the Watch:

  • 79 items in the folder XXX (when there should be a more another 2000 points)
  • No element contain subfolders of the folder XXX
  • 4.54 GB available

  Already tried troubleshooting steps

  • Rebooted computer MacBook twice
  • Patiently waited all night for computer complete the download sync on iDrive
  • Use disk utility to repair disk

  No temporary miracle identified.

  iCloud Drive no local sync

  The main solution, apparently, is "Call Apple Support". I note that there are several recent complaints in the same direction. Maybe something changed with the implementation of iCloud Drive in August 2016?

• iCloud drive sync seems to put all files on all devices.

  I'm fighting to manage this. I have 150 GB of space of barrier which I would like to store my personal files about 80 GB but they seem to have appeared on other computers.

  NET, I'm out of memory on the Macbook air and main work desk.

  I always want to iCloud document reader to do not want to stop, but I don't need all the files on all terminals.

  Is there a way to choose the folders to be synchronized?

  iCloud drive is 'selective sync '.

  You can't choose which is copied on other Macs if you end up with everything everywhere.

  The FAQ mentions "all documents", but does not say how to have a selection...

  iCloud Drive FAQ - Apple Support

  A better option is to Dropbox (or one of the many other sync services). It has the ability to allow you to choose which is copied in the devices, other services.

• Container of notes in iCloud drive deleted by mistake

  After many sync problems with Notes, I decided to start from scratch. I backed up all the notes on my Mac, disconnected all iCloud drive and then removed from the Notes container in stock to manage devices. It was clearly a mistake - I realize now I should have deleted the data inside of the container. Initially, I imagined that when I went on iCloud sync on one of the devices (Mac, for example) the container should be recreated automatically. Of course, it was not. Mac and iPhone are both showing some iCloud Notes - I entered the data from different test on both devices - and sync turns ball is encouraging. But no synchronization takes place and no container in managing storage.

  I checked Time Machine to see if I could find the container but the contents of the iCloud drive seems to not be recorded (unless I'm missing something or do not wait long enough).

  So I need to recreate the container, if possible. Is it possible to do it without having to reinstall OS 10.11.6?

  I'm not sure I know what notes, your average container. I have no record of notes in iCloud drive or system preferences > iCloud > manage, I don't see where else you would mean that if you were opening the hidden locations.

• iCloud drive synchronization failed

  Hi all

  I have a plan to iCloud 200 GB and filled my iCloud 84 GB data drive. I downloaded all of my iMac (OS X El Capitan) 2 weeks ago.

  I then enabled reader iCloud on my iPhone and PC. Everything (except a file on my PC) seems to sync right.

  But, with my MacBook Pro (OS X El Capitan), when I activated iCloud drive, there was a real problem.

  It seems fine synchronization and download several GB of files, but, at the same time, without anything special happening and several hours after the start, it's just... stop!

  And when I restart the iCloud drive computer restarts all over again as if nothing had ever been downloaded! I reboot again and it lights up constantly, never be able to finish my drive download whole iCloud.

  Also, I tried everything I found in this thread without success:iCloud Drive no local sync

  What can I do?

  Thanks for any response.

  When the sync seems to fail, note the exact time: hour, minute, second.

  These must be run as administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.

  Run the Console application in one of the following ways:

  ☞ Enter the first letters of his name in a Spotlight search. Select from the results (it should be at the top).

  ☞ In the Finder, select go utilities ▹ of menu bar or press the combination of keys shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.

  ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.

  The title of the Console window should be all Messages. If it isn't, select

  SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ all Messages

  in the list of logs on the left. If you don't see this list, select

  List of newspapers seen ▹ display

  in the menu at the top of the screen bar.

  Each message in the journal begins with the date and time when it was entered. Highlight date back to the time you noted above.

  Select the messages entered since then until the end of the episode, or until they begin to repeat, whichever comes first.

  Copy messages to the Clipboard by pressing Control-C key combination. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command + V.

  The journal contains a large amount of information, almost all this is useless to solve any particular problem. When you post a journal excerpt, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.

  Please don't dump blindly thousands of lines in the journal in this discussion.

  Please do not post screenshots of log messages - text poster.

  Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.

  When you post the journal excerpt, an error message may appear on the web page: "you include content in your post that is not allowed", or "the message contains invalid characters." It's a bug in the forum software. Thanks for posting the text on Pastebin, then post here a link to the page you created.

• My iCloud drive disappeared.  What happened to him?

  I've been successfully using my iCloud drive to move files from my computer to my IPad Pro.  But today, I can't find iCloud drive on my my Macintosh HD.  Someone had this problem?  What should I do to find the iCloud?

• Turn off sync to iCloud drive to specific folders?

  I have some files I've downloaded to iCloud Drive, which I rarely opened.

  I know than iCloud Drive intelligently synchronizing files that I rarely opened, but is it possible for me to:

  1. mark a specific folder in iCloud drive to not synchronize my devices? I think that this as a feature of "cold storage"?

  2 interrupt synchronization to iCloud drive everything as I interrupt iCloud Photos on Mac?

  Since I'm in an environment where the internet speed is very limited and I often uses mobile wifi (MiFi) whereby data is very expensive, so I need to manage the synchronization manually by myself. I also want to save precious space on my MacBook Pro SSD, this is why I need this feature of "cold storage" in the cloud.

  Note: This tip below might work for the interruption of synchronization, but y at - it another way to interrupt synchronization?

  How suspend you iCloud drive sync?  It is using all of my mobile data!

  My environment: 13 "2015 retina MacBook Pro installed in El Capitan, iPhone running iOS 9.3.5 6.

  Thank you.

  Right now, iCloud drive will be synchronized snapshots of documents and data from your Mac.

  macOS Sierra will bring changes to this.  See the preview.   Preview - Apple macOS

  You will be able to use "Optimize storage" for iCloud Drive and include your desktop and Documents folder in iCloud drive.  Then you can choose to keep only the document new and used recently, all the old files and data locally in the cloud.

  Get ready for the update on 20 September.

• If I install the iCloud drive on my laptop and remove this app from my iphone due to the lack of storage, to lose all the data that I saved in there?

  If I install icloud drive in my laptop where all my important data is saved and uninstall the app from my iphone icloud drive, my data is secure?

  A couple of things...

  -If you have an Apple laptop or desktop, with a software update system, so there is no way to 'install iCloud Drive' to this topic as it is already there as a function of iCloud.

  -remove the iCloud (app) drive icon on your iPhone will do nothing.

  -If your data is already in iCloud, so rest assured, it is already safe.

• Once that a file is uploaded to iCloud drive remove it from my hard drive to free up space?

  I want to free up space on the hard drive of my MacBook Pro. Once I have download on iCloud can I delete from my hard drive and still maintain a file of cloud?  Another way to put it: once a file is uploaded to iCloud by car, if I remove my hard drive it will remove automatically iCloud drive?

  Thank you

  iCloud Drive is a synchronization service. If you delete a file from iCloud, it is removed from iCloud drive and vice versa.

  It is not an effective way to free up space on your MacBook.

  

• ICloud drive backup from my MacBook Pro Finder folders?

  ICloud drive backup from my MacBook Pro Finder folders? I have Word for Mac and lots of jpg and PDF files in the My Documents folder that I'd like to back up.

  iCloud Drive is a synchronization system, not a backup system. Use an external drive for backups. So that documents to download, they are added to iCloud by car. iCloud drive will not load automatically the content of your Documents folder.

• How do you access iCloud drive from command line?

  I'm on OS 10.10.5.  On any Finder window, I see iCloud drive listed (with subfolders, some created by me, others not).

  How can I look at them from the point of view "unix"?  That is, from the command line.  When I do:

  $ sudo find /-name iCloud\ in car

  He finds a /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/CloudDocsDaemon.framework/Versions/A/Resource s/iCloud Drive Drive.app/Contents/MacOS/iCloud file, which is an 'executable x86_64.  I'm afraid to run it from the command line.

  Can someone please tell me how I can watch some entries in folder under "iCloud Drive" via command line?

  Thank you.

  I can access m iCloud drive of documents from the Terminal by entering

  CD ~/Library/Mobile\ Documents/com ~ apple ~ CloudDocs.

  This will set the current directory to the root of the drive to iCloud.

• How can I copy the folder my documents in my iCloud drive and then I sync the two after that?

  How can I copy the folder my documents in my iCloud drive and then I sync the two after that?

  You can simply drag in iCloud reader, but I pass and move documents in their files app instead. It will probably take a while to download all documents.

  It is not a way to sync without some third party software that synchronizes folders, or learn how to use rsync in the Terminal.

  Instead of synchronization, simply use the iCloud drive in the 'Documents' folder after you move the files.
