iCloud Drive

Guys,


When I move an item from my desktop to a folder I get a dialog box asking me if I want to remove the file from my iCloud drive. What is this all about? I didn't ask for a iCloud drive. How did the file get there? Can you direct me to an Apple explanation?


Early iMac 2019, Big Sur 11.2.1


Thanks, Phil

Hi there Phil.


It sounds like you have Desktop files syncing with iCloud Drive. The following page provides some information about the feature we think you'll find helpful: Add your Desktop and Documents files to iCloud Drive


We hope this helps!
