Notes app: "You have changes that can't be uploaded"
Hi all:
Every single time I open Notes on any of my devices I am given the following notification: "You have changes that can't be uploaded. / Changes you made to '[Note name]' can't be uploaded since the owner's iCloud storage is full. Your changes are saved on this device and will be uploaded once the owner creates space."
A couple of things:
- I do not recognize the note in question—it sounds like a grocery list that a roommate might have shared with me years ago, but I cannot find any trace of it on either of my devices/in my messages/on my iCloud. It simply does not exist. But it does.
- My own storage is far from full. Dozens of gigabytes separate me from a Notes file breaking the camel's back.
- None of the folks I have contacted have found a similar Note on any of their devices. It seems like it was deleted a while back, but the record of it having been shared with me has left it trapped in some kind of limbo.
- I've put up with this for months, but it's really, really frustrating. I cannot use my Notes app for long because that notification appears repeatedly. Like, 4–5 times over the course of composing a single grocery list. I like Notes for its ease of use, generally: I can access one file across my devices. This is putting considerable wear on that perk.
Has anyone else experienced something similar? What should I do, apart from breaking the thing in half, I mean?
Thanks in advance
iPhone 11, iOS 13
