Accidently went to iCloud under System preferences and clicked on the option to move desktop to iCloud Drive. Now tryikng to get my desktop files back on my desk top .

The question is the Photo box is deselected and it wasn’t before . If I click the Photo’s box, I have to choose an option from iCloud ( which I do not have enough storage ) to My Photo Stream to Shared Albums. I think I want “ My Photo Stream” ....but then I get ICloud Preferences wants to make changes to your account. ( And I need my password for this.) I shouldn’t have to make changes if that is how I had my photos before, right ?
