iCloud doesn't optimise local storage Why does iCloud store files on my disc drive? This defeats the purpose of Optimising storage, it uses more of your local drive space...which seems bonkers. I've selected the option to move Documents and Desktop to iCloud but they did not move, still they're taking up space. The Apple support article specifically states that selecting "store in iCloud" moves those files from the local drive to the cloud. That doesn't happen and as mentioned, worse still the iCloud contents are also stored on the drive. Instead of freeing up space, it is using space. This Apple's comment, "Your Mac can optimise storage by using iCloud to automatically make more storage space available when needed.* It's a way to allow your Mac to free up storage space for you." Any ideas? MacBook Pro M1, 512GB, 8GB RAM, Ventura (the same issue exists with Big Sur). Thanks.

Limit or set amount of space for iCloud? Hello, I have a Mac Mini with a 250GB Hard Drive. I have icloud turned on and set to "optimize" the space. However, iCloud downloads so much data that I only have about 5GB of storage left on my HD. I'm unable to even do a software update due to not having enough space. Is there any way to set how much free space iCloud leaves on my HD? Or any other way to control how much HD space iCloud uses? If not, this is a big warning that you need a HD that is as large as your iCloud storage or else. Seems to defeat the entire purpose of iCloud and especially the "optimize" setting. Thanks for any info.

It is the reverse of that. Turning ON Optimize Mac Storage is the option to reduce the storage that iCloud Drive uses on your Mac. If your Mac has adequate storage space, the storage may not be optimized regardless of the setting.

If Optimize Mac Storage is off, then everything on iCloud Drive should also have a full local copy on your Mac.
