How to STOP iCloud from auto upload/ leave data on HD?
I do NOT want iCloud to auto upload all my info to the cloud, some docs have sensitive info. I have over 40 yrs worth of research on my computer and now after all that research it’s in the cloud & I don’t control the info (ever heard of hackers or is Apple now trying to legally hack millions of computers?). I am very upset about this issue, am considering going back to using a pc.
I tried to go to iCloud options & uncheck “Desktop & Documents Folders” but then all my data disappears from my computer HD as well, it’s just totally gone!
I want to control my data, not iCloud. I do not need to share most of it across multiple devices. If it is an all or nothing thing, I would prefer to have the data returned to my HD & not use iCloud at all. I can use an ext. HD instead.
Please help resolve this issue ASAP. Thank you.
