Question

temporarily turn off or pause iCloud on PC

Is there a way to stop or pause iCloud on a PC that doesn't involve deleting every iCloud file?

I've read several recommendations that instruct to the user Logout of iCloud. However, doing so is met with a warning that all the iCloud files will be deleted from the PC.

I just want to free up bandwidth occasionally. I promise I'll come right back and allow iCloud to continue using a constant chunk of resources for a single set of functions that is rarely necessary on a day to day basis.

Windows, Windows 10

Of course I've tried that.

Yes, it works but it's utterly unreasonable to expect a PC user to go through such lengths.

Have you tried adding a "Pause" feature like every other cloud service on the market?

If this is your best answer, I suppose I'll simply uninstall iCloud and move on.

Hi The Original Cubelodyte,

Thanks for your post! I understand you would like to temporarily pause iCloud on your PC. Have you tried disabling a single service? Signing out completely will result in the action you described in your post.

Set up and use iCloud for Windows

Refer to "Turn off or uninstall iCloud for Windows"

Let us know what you find out!

Take care!
