  I want to save the file in my iCloud account, but free space in the hard drive of my MACBOOK

  There is no practical way to do it.

  If you do not enable iCloud Drive on your Mac, you can upload files to iCloud by car via the web interface at https://www.icloud.com

  But you can access the files from the web interface and won't icloud drive as drive in the Finder.  You cannot use the Finder to access the files. You need to download it to use.

• How to record the phone in iCloud drive storage

• 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 - save the storage space on Mac

  is it possible to save space on my iMac with iCloud drive? For example, if I wanted to save all my pictures on iCloud drive but do not waste space on my mac hard drive, is this possible? I can have not only in cloud storage and not my Mac? I see no point to buy loads of space on iCloud and your iMac will not be able to accommodate it.

  Thank you

  Well this isn't

  You'd be better served with a different service, try DropBox or one of its imitators.

• Backup files to iCloud drive

  I ran out of space on my MacBook Pro (7.28 GB from 250 GB), and to solve my problem of storage, I leaned in iCloud drive.

  My question is if I save a file in iCloud drive does also save on the hard drive of the device that I save on?

  I did one month trial with iCould Drive 50 GB, but I do not see clear up any space... I do something wrong?

  Thanks for any help you can give!

  Yes, if you add files to iCloud by car they are stored on your hard drive, as a work around, you can disable iCloud drive and access it through your web browser to iCloud.com > iCloud Drive, it does not use your hard drive.

• icloud drive doesn't sync from my PC

  iCloud drive is simply not sync with my PC.

  When I open iCloud drive in Windows and then open icloud.com (OR on my iPhone for example) there are a SEVERAL files and folders that I created in Windows but that exist all simply not icloud.com (OR on my iPhone for example).

  There are SOME files that I created the MONTH there, who are just not there.

  When I check on iCloud for Windows, it does NOT there are currently all the files being downloaded.

  It says "update 04/27/16, 12:15 (THREE days ago)."

  It is beyond humor to Apple to simply have a "PC refresh" option within the iCloud for Windows program?

  Without hope.

  Hi jon_leigh,

  I understand that the files and folders that are created on your Windows PC are not always appearing on iCloud.com or your iOS devices. Fortunately the steps below can help to restore the functionality between your PC and iCloud.

  What happens if my files don't upgrade to iCloud?

  Check these things first:

  • Make sure you have an active Internet connection on your Mac and your iOS device.
  • Login to iCloud on all your devices and turn on iCloud drive.
  • Install the latest versions of Pages, Numbers and Keynote. See what versions of Pages, Numbers and Keynote, you can use with iCloud Drive.
  • Make sure you have enough storage iCloud. If you exceed your limit, you can improve your iCloud-storage space.
  • Create a new document and save it to see if it downloads to iCloud. If so, see if other documents to begin the download.

  If you have tried these steps and your files do not download to iCloud:

  1. Stay connected to iCloud.
  2. Save your updated files to another folder on your Mac or PC.
  3. Contact Apple technical support.

• Should I use iCloud drive to share documents with a member of the family?

  My wife has retired and is buying an iPad Pro to replace his work computer.  It is not an advanced user.

  If she wants to keep a document, can send it to my iCloud for storing drive?  Works the family shares in iCloud drive, as in iCloud?

  I am less interested in sharing music etc to save some documents.

  Thank you.

  Well, it depends on how the device is connected. It has its own ID-Apple/iCloud? I would recommend that it should have its own, as sharing an iCloud or Apple ID may cause Messages, FaceTime, Notes, virtually everything to share between the two phones. Most people find it quite annoying.

  If it is signed with the ID Apple/iCloud then she would need to set up and use his own iCloud drive - it is not a part of the family sharing.

  If it is signed with your identifying Apple/iCloud, she can use your iCloud drive.

  You can also send your request of family sharing support iCloud drive from Apple here, if you wish: Apple - Feedback

  Just to be clear, iCloud backup & iCloud drive are essentially two separate things.

  This can be useful, iCloud is primarily a service synchronization. Means that it can take the changes you make on one device and other devices to update this change if you do not have to be done individually on each device. Useful if you have more device. iCloud Drive is the term used for the part of iCloud that can synchronize files between your devices, just like Dropbox. iCloud backup is the backup of live data to iCloud part. Sync services aren't backups, just a way for your data reach another device.

  On your iPhone, if you go to:

  Settings > general > Srorage & use iCloud > manage storage (under iCloud) > [phone] (BACKUPS)

  You can see what data is stored for each application (Tap 'Show all Apps' if necessary).

• iCloud Drive not download

  For 3 weeks, whenever I put a new file in my iCloud drive in the Finder on my MacBook Air, it will not download. The process starts but it stops near the end. The little loading circle is almost full, but all my new files are download for 3 weeks. Am I the only one having this problem or is it a problem with the iCloud servers?

  Try to restart the Finder.

  The command, Option + ESC shortcut keyboard will bring up the force quit window. Select Finder, and then click on restart.

  Or, go to the Apple  menu and click on force quit menu drop down > Finder > restart

  If that doesn't help, check your iCloud storage > manage your iCloud - Apple Support storage space

• iCloud Drive and confusion of local storage

  I'm quite confused on iCloud drive works. I had assumed that it could be used like any other option storage file, for example a connected locally external hard drive. But apparently not exactly. Here is my request:

  I have a huge (hundreds of gigabytes) Aperture library. Since it is much larger than the storage available on the SSD in my Macbook Pro, I have it on a classic 1.5 TB external harddrive. But I want to save the library to a cloud off-site storage site so that if my house burns down, accidents of HD or someone steals, I have not lost anything. But as I copy files from my drive hard external to iCloud my internal SSD drive fills up completely and the backup finishes. It's a mystery to my as to why iCloud drive isn't teated by OS X like any other volume "attached" to which I can copy or download local files.

  My first question, then, is it really how it is supposed to work? If so, my second question is: can someone explain the logic behind this behavior? My last question is: is there some way that I can install iCloud drive on both , my external hard drive and my drive internal, but both have the same account iCloud?

  Thanks in advance for all advice and counsel.

  iCloud is a synchronization system, not an external storage system. If you delete them from the computer/device they will be deleted to iCloud. The files are stored locally on your hard drive that you have discovered.

  I can't explain the logic, but this is how it works.

  Send feedback to Apple. They will not respond, but at least know that there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it can become the problem solved as soon as possible.
