turning off and getting docs and desktop off of iCloud I didn't want my things to go on iCloud or iCloud Drive. I signed in and turned it on so that I could subscribe to my niece's movie file. Now I get a message that my documents and desktop will be deleted if I turn off iCloud and they'll remain on the cloud. What do I have to do to get out of iCloud without losing my documents file and everything on my desktop? I'm using a MacBook Pro around 2015 model. But also would like to get my things off of iCloud that are on my old iPhone 4s, 6 and current iPhone 8.
