"iCloud full" message

Hello,


Im trying to save a document on my MacBook Air desktop and there is a message that comes up telling me that this is not possible because my "iCloud is full". Is there a way I can just save a document on my desktop without having to use iCloud?

MacBook Air 13", macOS 10.13

No, not if you are syncing Desktop and Documents using iCloud/iCloud Drive. You can put it in your Home folder as long as you don't put in your Documents folder. I looks like you have a storage problem to resolve. See:


Check your iCloud storage usage on iCloud.com https://support.apple.com/guide/icloud/check-your-storage-usage-mm6e5a441fc7/1.0/icloud/1.0;

Upgrade or downgrade your iCloud storage https://support.apple.com/guide/icloud/upgrade-or-downgrade-storage-mm2fdfb6d515/1.0/icloud/1.0
