icloud drive

Over the course of the last 2-3 months, I kept adding some large files to the Documents folder on my Mac (with the option for the Documents and Desktop being synced via iCloud). I originally figured I'd delete them from there once I don't use them anymore since I don't want to upgrade my iCloud...

I have had the 5GB free storage forever. I have an iPhone X, Macbook Pro, and an iMac. I only have ever used the icloud for what I thought was being used to backup and hold my contact list. That's all I really care about. Photos...I upload manually to computer if I really need to. Right now, its...

I'm in the process of switching from Dropbox to iCloud Drive. I upgraded my iCloud storage to a suitable size to cover all my Dropbox content, then created a new folder in my iCloud Drive called "Dropbox" (I'm ready to migrate, but not ready to organize!), then dragged all the files in my...

I'm running macOS High Sierra 10.13.4 and the latest version of Pages, 7.0.1. I duplicated a .pages file to make edits and saved it as a new .pages file in the iCloud Pages folder. I then attempted to export it as a PDF, intending to save the PDF in the Pages folder as well. It wouldn't let me...

Hello. After I updated from Sierra to Sierra High I lost around 30gb from my iCloud Drive. At the moment the folder in iCloud drive only contains some basic folders. When I log in iCloud drive through the browser there is a little bit more folders, but no where near everything. I tried to...

I am having a weird problem with my iCloud Drive, where changes on my client devices (iPhone, iPad, & Mac) are not syncing up to iCloud Drive. However, changes made through the iCloud.com site will sync down to my devices. For example: If I add a new file or folder on my Mac or iPhone/iPad...

So, I checked the "Optimize Mac Storage" without even thinking about what actually iCloud would do to my computer. There was NO WARNING that my files stored locally on the desktop and in the documents folder would be DELETED from my machine and uploaded to iCloud Drive. I have backups of...

The files on my iMac and iOS are not synced. The iOS (iPhone X and iPad 5) match but the iMac doesn't download anything new from them. Any idea why not?

Did I trigger some sort of bandwidth cap or something? I was moving, and merging and deduplicating about 300,000 Emails. The only thing that seems to respond anymore is files within the app folders. My sync is stuck. Files on my Mac sit there uploading forever. Files on the Web do not download...

I found this in my iCloud Drive settings (see attached screenshot). What is that? Something to be concerned about?

Hello! I know someone who wants to keep their desktop in sync across two Macs. The two obvious options to me are to either turn on iCloud Drive Desktop & Documents Folder sync, or use Dropbox with a link to the Desktop folder. I think both options will work, but what I'm hoping can happen is...

I just moved some of my documents folders to iCloud Drive and realized that my smart folders searching for certain documents having color tags don't work anymore. The files on iCloud Drive still have the color tag, but the search for color tags on iCloud files doesn't work... Has anybody...

Hey guys and gals, Wanted to get a thread going dedicated to the new Files app — and specifically what could be improved. A short blurb on what I personally think So there are two things here: the service (or “cloud”) and the client app. Let’s talk about the service first. The Service While...

I am having a problem visualizing how to organize some files. And the Apple Associates aren't doing me any favors by saying "put them however you want". I guess what I want is someone to tell me how to do it! To begin, I have a dread of running out of space in my MacBook Air's SSD, not that I...

Does anyone know whether Files will support marking files (or rather, entire folders) for offline use? Whenever I tap Info on a folder, it shows Downloaded, but the files in there are not necessarily available offline. Is this functionaility still being planned for? There’s no toggling that...

I have a question regarding iCloud Drive: I have a monthly subscription for 50 GB. When I check my iCloud storage use on my iPhone/MBP it says that I have 26 GB of free space (24 GB used) Having only a 256GB SSD in my MBP, I was looking at the recommendations to remove unnecessary files. Here...

Excuse me if that has been answered already, just point me to the right thread, as my search did not lead to any useful results. I started to use iCloud Drive to synchronise Desktop & Documents folders. Is there a way to separate them? I'm happy to have backup of my Documents in the cloud, but...

To preface: I have both iOS 11 and macOS High Sierra. My friend was using a Windows machine. From the Files app with iOS 11, I just emailed a friend a folder that consists of pdf files that I stored in iCloud drive over a year ago. The friend informed me that some of the files in the folder...

This hypothetical has been wracking my brain since I recently migrated to iCloud Drive: all files, Desktop, Documents, App containers, etc Lets say, hypothetically: I back up my Mac on Monday with Time Machine I work all week long, modifying and creating 100's of files, all stored in iCloud...
