Your MacBook has the ability to store items in the Cloud. This can be useful for some (that use multiple devices).
I believe you're wanting to disable storing these items in the cloud from your Mac.
If so, Click on the Apple Logo (top Left corner) > Select System Preferences > Click "Apple ID" which will bring you to this pane.
UNCHECK iCloud Drive.
If this didn't solve your concern, please let us know.
If I do that I just got a notification that all documents stored in iCloud will be removed from my Mac! I do not want to do this I want my documents on my Mac.
I DONT WANT TO SAVE EVERYTHING TO ICLOUD! HOW DO I JUST SAVE TO MY DESKTOP?
