Hey there Marcio Moreira,


It looks like there might have been a feature enabled in iCloud on your Mac which is causing it to download iCloud content and also upload data from your Mac to iCloud. Do you recall the steps taken prior to seeing this on your screen? Can you check your Mac storage to see what items are using space there? To check, use these steps:


1. Choose Apple menu  > About This Mac.
2. Click Storage, then click Manage.

Take care!
