Nowhere on internet particularly on apple support pages is written how to sharing down offload library on iCloud to external drive.
family can easily fill 200GB so than what? I don’t need 3+y offload and keep on iCloud in thumbnails only.
no iPhone storage optimization
no MacOS storage optimization
I need iCloud optimization!!!!
Any help or idea please???
iPhone 13, iOS 16
Perhaps this can help - this document describes how you can download the content you are storing in iCloud: Archive or make copies of the information you store in iCloud - Apple Support
Once you archive your data somewhere else, you can weed out the iCloud storage.

Once you have nothing to add to discussion, don’t join the conversation. Just to tell me that my English is not enough for you. (Is flaming not recognized by Apple community) So either bring up content related questions or be aware that any other interaction is not welcomed.
Apple does not allow editing of original message. That is sometimes counterproductive.
Thx for your help! Truly remarkable human being. Was right on spot. Not taking care of my frustration :) based on Google giving me most searched answers rather than relative for my case.
So in this way I can offload from iCloud! Amazing! Do you think I can watermark, shrink size and then upload again back ? “Backup” so I don’t loose content ?
Flaming? It was never my intention. I suggest that if you re-read your original post you might understand my difficulty, and hence my suggestion that you post in a language more comfortable for you. Apple does allow editing of the original message for 15 minutes after it is posted.
You can upload any files to iCloud Drive, as long as the size of the individual files does not exceed the size limits. So it will be up to you what you are storing in iCloud. But if you shrink the size of your files, it will not be a full backup, as you will downgrade the quality. And keep backup copies locally on your computer as well.
I am using iCloud more selectively, only storing my most important documents and data there, at the full original quality, but not duplicates, boring, or redundant files.
I have only photos that fill up my iCloud to 80% !
I can offload files on iCloud Drive without problem. 👍
You can free up Mac 🖥️ disk space
You can free up iPhone 📱 disk space
But you can’t free iCloud ☁️ space easily
Would love to see “Offload images from iCloud” feature
download original to external drive and keep only thumbnails on iCloud and synced drives.
kind of what Google photos did but without letting you keep the originals.
Obviously you can’t help me, and I did not ask for anything that you offer in your answers. If you could help you would respond as Léonie. So maybe, just maybe the problem is at your side.
But thx anyway for trying to improve my English trough pointing how horrible you feel about the level I speak.
Am constantly improving and not because of comments like yours.
I admire your ability to take offence where none is intended. I could have helped you if you had managed to produce an actual sentence in your first post. I encouraged you to try again, and I updated your information on editing posts. You have a great day now.
Yes if you had managed to produce content related question in the first place, we could have been elsewhere.
But as before so now, you try blame me for not being enough capable of producing you input so you can help me, this is mesmerizing.
So thank you for your input, was truly remarkable.

My mind-reading skills are on a par with that attempt at a sentence. You have a lovey great day now. I'll allow you to have the last word...
I'm sorry but your English makes it difficult to understand you. If necessary try posting in your own language.
Why keeps Apple deceiving customers? Shrink down iCloud size
