keeping Icloud Drive files locally

hi all,

I am looking for a way to keep the originals of all the files in My Documents local.

The reason for this is I am on a very minimal connection here.

I have noticed that even when I select the option download from cloud (the cloud with arrow)

after a while it is miraculously back in the cloud.


In photos you can select "store originals on this mac"

is there a way to do so for my files in My Documents?


merci,

Diederik

Hi dieders,


System Preferences, then click Apple ID and iCloud, and untick the box that's marked Optimize Mac Storage.
