Click on iCloud Drive. Right-click on the folder you want to remove its downloaded content, and then click on Remove Download. Udhy 5, 10 10 silver badges 30 30 bronze badges.

Look for words like "if there is space" in the description. That means Apple downloads everything and then frees up space when it sees you have little space left. It doesn't do the calculation first - it actually downloads.

Look for confusion around Documents and Desktop. If you opt in to syncing on one Mac - now you have 4 folders on any one Mac signed in to iCloud - the cloud version of desktop and documents and the local version.

We answer technical questions here. We are not Apple. We won't debate policy or decisions made by Apple. Ah, I see. I misunderstood the forum. I was under the impression that Apple might be watching the discussions to better understand how users are reacting to features, even if they don't respond to comments. I know that I could submit it directly to Apple, but I feel like that just goes into a black-hole they don't respond directly and who knows whether it gets any traction internally.

It would be nice to have a place where users can go back and forth on ideas. I'd imagine Apple would want to tune into that to pluck up attractive ideas. Oct 13, AM. In my suggestion, users wouldn't see all these Flags, etc.

It would all be under-the-hood; so, users who don't want to be concerned with it wouldn't have to worry about it at all. It would work the way it currently does. But, for users that want the more nuanced usage, app developers would have that opportunity to provide it if they want for their apps.

Other apps upload your files to iCloud only after you save them to the iCloud Drive folder. On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, go to the Files app. If you still don't see the latest changes or you see an "in-progress change" icon or the iCloud icon in the notification area system tray , try to save a new document to the iCloud Drive folder. Then check the iCloud Drive folder to see if the changes appear.

When you turn on iCloud Drive, any documents that you already store in iCloud automatically move to iCloud Drive. You can see your files on iCloud. If you need to access a file that you deleted within the last 30 days, you can get it back from the Recently Deleted folder in the Files app, or on iCloud.

Then contact Apple Support for more help. If you get a Resolve Conflict message when you open a file, choose the version of the document that you want to save. Then choose Keep to update the file in iCloud.
