  iCloud drive isn't the answer to your problem. You must use iCloud photo library and enable optimization. (settings > photos & camera)

  I don't know how you managed to delete icloud drive by removing your Mac in the way you describe, however. all documents in iCloud drive are duplicated on your Mac, even if they are hidden.

• iCloud drive Local Storage Management on iOS

  I can imagine a circumstance in which an iCloud drive may contain enough files to exceed the capacity of storage available for an iOS device.

  1. does anyone know how iOS handles this situation?

  2. in general, are all the files in the iCloud drive copied down for iOS devices, or is it only meta data to iOS show the structure of the disk allowing iOS to download copies of files on demand?

  With Dropbox, you must manually choose which files you want stored locally on your iOS device. I'm guessing that Apple tried to relieve users from having to think about this issue and they designed the iOS to just do the right thing by managing local storage automatically and gracefully.

  Only, they are copied to your device when you open then (with some exceptions). If you start running out of room, your device will delete them intelligently...

• 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.

• iCloud storage problems. won't let me put more files, even though it says I have 180 GB of available

  Help!

  Try to clean the files from my external hard drive and the Mac and put on iCloud in order to free up space. But, iCloud repeat that it cannot transfer files because there is not enough space. But when I check the info it says I still have over 180 GB of storage space... I want to only 130GB of transfer in iCloud. Why won't it let me?

  anyone else has this problem or has fixed this or give me any advice for me. can not finish my projects for work until I have free space. Super frustrating!

  A = soon)

  Not sure if you're aware but iCloud is mainly designed for the synchronization of data between devices and not as a cloud storage location only. If you have iCloud drive turned on in your Mac and you then attempt to move 130GB of an external hard drive to iCloud, it will automatically also an attempt of placement than 130 GB as a local copy on your Mac (use the menu go to Finder > iCloud drive to access the local copy).

• I have a problem with iCloud drive

  Hello

  My problem is rare. When I activate the iCloud Desktop Drive & Documents folders in Finder seem two offices.

  If I delete the office with your preferred category after restarting the Finder again, it seems.

  It is interesting to note that in the Finder preferences when turned on iCloud Desktop Drive & Documents folders does not have an office in the favorite category and still the bar on the left side is all the time. It does not help the manual removal.

  Reset the service (iCloud Drive) does not help.

  It is not clear what you're trying to say. What do you mean by "two offices"? What do you mean "Class Favorite"?

  Please post screenshots.

• I have 50 GB of iCloud and my computer is full because of photo storage problems. How can I get these pictures in my icloud? I checked all my settings. Everything is as it should be. I feel as if I had downloaded originals or something.

• 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.

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

• What happens if your storage iCloud drive is greater than your storage unit? It will fill your iphone or iPad?

  I've updated the plan of 250 GB. I am about to transition about 60 GB in front of another cloud provider, who will be my total storage to 100 GB.

  ICloud Drive on my iphone 64 GB and ipad automatically try and synchronize all of these files? Is it possible to stop the application to do this - i.e. be selective around folders synchronized to your ios devices?

  See you soon

  Glynne

  iCloud is a servcie synchronization switch.

  All that is stored in your folder on the drive on your PC icloud is synchronized to your device. To be selective about your synchronization, monitor which is stored in this folder.

• 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.

• iCloud drive with Sierra problems

  When I upgraded to Sierra, during the implementation, I registered inadvertently to the top enable My Documents & Desk Top to synchronize without realizing account. Everything was going well in the Finder, until I realized that I was looking for to iCloud Drive/Documents not iMac/Documents and realized what I had done. I went in the iCloud preferences and unchecked Documents & Desk Top iCloud Drive options but I got a pop up stating 'If you keep Documents on your desk and you file Documents will be visible in iCloud drive away. No documents in iCloud drive are deleted. "

  I want to stop iCloud sync my Documents and office of the road and come back as it was before moving on to the Sierra of Finder.

  Hello man pine.
  Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

  If I understand your message which is more, you want to use iCloud drive and are concerned that you have received the message, "If you keep Documents on your desktop and you file Documents will be visible in iCloud drive away. No document will be deleted from iCloud drive. "When you disable iCloud Drive, the folder remains in the Finder, but you can move the documents from the folder of the iCloud drive to your Documents folder or any other folder of your choice. The only difference is that any changes to these documents will not be synchronized via iCloud to your other devices.

  Best regards.
